INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 F. Cover bottom of baking dish with oil. Dip the cut sides of tomatoes in oil, then place cut side up. Tomatoes should fit closely together in one layer. Combine the cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, pepper and salt and sprinkle evenly over tomatoes. Bake for 40 minutes. If drippings start to burn, turn oven down to 375 F. or 400 F. Combine baked tomatoes with penne pasta, toss, and serve immediately. The editors wrote: "Elegantly easy, that's what this sauce is. It's one of several we received that rely on baking, roasting or grilling tomatoes and other vegetables for deep, rich flavor."
