1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 450-g pkg linguine or spaghetti pasta

Place rack on bottom level of oven. Preheat oven to 500F (250C). Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, peel garlic. Place whole cloves in a large bowl. Coarsely chop tomatoes. Core and seed pepper, then coarsely chop. Chop onion. Add all to garlic with oil, salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Spread out in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast, uncovered, on bottom rack of preheated oven until vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Stir halfway through.
Meanwhile, after vegetables have roasted 7 minutes, add pasta to boiling water. Cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Shred basil. When veggies are roasted, remove garlic to a large bowl. Using a fork, mash against side of bowl. Add veggies and their juices. Drain cooked pasta. Turn into bowl. Crumble in cheese. Sprinkle with basil and stir. Add salt, if needed.

A log of herbed goat cheese makes pasta sauce creamy.
Creamy goat cheese is great tossed with hot veggies and stuffed in chicken breasts.
