I was recently in Rome to take some time for myself. Quite exciting because I had never really traveled all alone before. I have actually boarded a plane before, but spending six whole days alone in a major metropolis was a first! I was most dreading eating alone, but that actually turned out well for me. The waiters are happy to have a chat with you, and sometimes there is someone sitting next to you who will strike up a conversation with you. I ordered this pasta on a sunny, somewhat remote terrace hidden behind a green hedge near a typical Italian square and I didn't regret it! So simple, but so much flavor... Of course I had to make that again at home and share it with you. So get started with this pasta with rosemary and tomatoes.
Pasta with rosemary and tomatoes
By the way, in the photo you see a kind of wooden spoon. That is a kind of measuring stick for the amount of uncooked pasta you should use. I bought it at the market of Campo di Fiori, the Foodie market where they sell all kinds of fresh products. Vegetables, fruit, juices, and beautiful tableware and this kind of nice kitchen supplies.
In that respect, Rome is a really wonderful city where you can eat well everywhere. Try to avoid the hysterically touristy squares, often around the corner there is a small place where you can eat really well. This vegetarian pasta was really super tasty, and that with only a few ingredients!
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
