Quick-Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti

Ingredients:

• 4 quarts water
• 1 Tbsp kosher salt
• 12 oz uncooked spaghetti
• 2 pints cherry tomatoes
• 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1/4 C chopped or torn fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 C chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 3/4 C (3 oz) crumbled semisoft goat cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add 1 tablespoon salt and spaghetti to boiling water; cook 10 minutes or until spaghetti is al dente. Drain spaghetti in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return spaghetti to pan; set aside, and keep warm.
• While spaghetti cooks, combine tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper on a jelly-roll pan, tossing well to coat. Bake tomato mixture at 450° for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and lightly charred in places.
• Add tomatoes and any tomato juice to spaghetti in Dutch oven. Add 1/4 cup reserved cooking water to jelly-roll pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; carefully pour water mixture and remaining 2 tablespoons oil into spaghetti mixture. Place Dutch oven over medium heat. Add remaining reserved cooking water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until spaghetti mixture is moist, tossing frequently. Stir in basil and parsley. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
