    It is a 37C day today - not a day to be roasting tomatoes. Yet, I did them early morning when it was a bit cooler and the with the cooling on to dissipate the small amount of heat. The sauce with cream was made later - easy enough done. This is a simple dish, but here we love the attention that simple dishes demand, as well as the joy of much more complex dishes. Perfect for weeknights if you pre-roast the tomatoes. (Love mrsbloomsdale's hint about roasting and freezing tomatoes.) Adored the dish on a hot hot Australian summer evening.

    This was pretty good, though does benefit from pretty liberal grindings of black pepper for more complexity. I left the smaller cherry tomatoes whole (about half of them), so I definitely got some of the tomato brightness Breadcrumbs found lacking in this recipe.

    This is a favorite fast dinner (once the tomatoes have been roasted). We roast and freeze many pounds of cherry tomatoes when they are at their peak in August and September and enjoy this from time to time during the winter.

    p. 142 – This was good, not remarkable though. A solid variation on a standard tomato cream sauce. I actually missed the brightness of the tomatoes as that typically balances the richness of the cream. No surprise this was a hit with mr bc lover-of-all-things-cream though! Of course he added some shredded chicken to his as well. Not sure I’d repeat this unless I had some tasteless tomatoes around that might benefit from roasting.
