Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use your favorite cheese! Crumbled feta or goat cheese would be excellent.
Switch the pasta! I love linguine pasta here, but another long-cut pasta, like fettuccine or spaghetti, would work too.
Simplify your pasta by omitting the cherry tomatoes. Add an extra handful of arugula and finish your linguine with a shower of grated Parmesan cheese.
Make pesto linguine! Skip the thyme, and toss your pasta with a few big scoops of pesto. It’s delicious with the roasted tomatoes, lemon, and fresh mozzarella.
Make it vegan by skipping the cheese. Add a few handfuls of roasted chickpeas in its place to make this pasta heartier.
