Grilled Tomato Linguine

For a delicious appetizer, serve the grilled tomatoes atop toasted pieces of Italian bread. Or use them in a grilled sandwich with fresh mozzarella and basil.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

3 pounds plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 pound linguine
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping, if desired

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a grill to high. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the thyme; season generously with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Starting with cut sides down, grill the tomatoes until soft and charred, 8 to 12 minutes per side.

    Step 3

    Return to the bowl; cut into coarse pieces with kitchen shears.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain; return to the pot.

    Step 5

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, the Parmesan, and grilled tomatoes. Divide among bowls, and serve immediately with more grated Parmesan, if desired.
