Pasta ponza

Ingredients
  • 4 cups red & yellow cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ¼ cup capers (rinsed & drained)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup ziti
  • ½ cup pecorino romano (grated)
  • ¼ cup parsley (chopped)
Instructions
  • Mix tomatoes, capers, olive oil, salt, pepper in a buttered baking dish.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, drizzle olive oil over.
  • Bake at 375°F for 30 min.
  • Cook the pasta, add the cheese and toss together.
  • Add tomato mix, parsley, salt, pepper, a little pasta water or olive oil if desired to make the sauce.
Notes
  • I forgot to rinse the capers, and they turned out very sour.
  • The whole thing was very soggy. The breadcrumbs were not crunchy even though I drizzled olive oil over them.
