1

Preheat the oven to 425℉.

2

Transfer the plum tomatoes to a large baking dish and drizzle with half the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the garlic in parchment or foil and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and wrap up. Transfer next to the tomatoes in the baking dish.

3

Place the dish in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

4

Remove the baking dish and add the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, until the tomatoes have burst and softened completely.

5

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

6

Once the tomatoes are done, remove about ⅓ of them and transfer to a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

7

Add the cooked pasta and spinach to the baking dish with the tomatoes while still hot. Pour the blended sauce over top and use tongs to gently combine everything.

Divide onto plates and top with ricotta, basil and chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
