A few months back I was asked by one of my absolute favorite brands, Ballard Designs, to create three distinct holiday looks and I’m thrilled to be sharing the pictures from the first of three with you all today, my harvest dinner.  Inspired by my favorite season fall, and playing off of Mother Nature’s natural beauty I think you’ll find this setting rich, warm, cozy, and the perfect table to gather friends and family around.  Head over to Ballard’s Blog, How To Decorate, to read more about the inspiration plus I’m sharing all of my tips and tricks so you can host a harvest dinner of your very own.  TGIF Loves!  Truly, MKR

A week or so ago I shared my La Crema Virtual Vintner dinner party with you all, but forgot to share the recipe to one of my absolute favorite dishes; my roasted tomato capellini.  Extremely easy to make, and always a crowd pleaser, this pasta won’t put you to sleep and truly capitalizes on my love for fresh, simple ingredients.  Enjoy!  truly, MKR

Ingredients
  1. Kosher salt
  2. 1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for the pot
  3. 10 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 4 pints small cherry and mixed grape tomatoes
  5. 20-25 large basil leaves, torn
  6. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  8. 1/2 cup pine nuts
  9. 3/4 pound dried capellini or angel hair pasta
  10. 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and extra chopped basil for serving
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water with 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the chopped garlic and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, pine nuts, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and desired amount of red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften but don't break up.
  3. While the tomato mixture is sautéing add the capellini to the pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.
  5. Place the pasta in a large serving bowl, add the tomato mixture and toss well.
  6. Serve with extra basil sprinkled on top and Parmesan on the side.
