I mean---how could you not love a good pasta dish? It's one of the simplest, versatile, and fun dishes to whip together especially during those busy weeknights where a quick, delicious meal is needed for the entire family. I've had my fair share of pasta dishes on the site, but this one is definitely in my top 5 faves and for good reason. Want to know why? Keep reading.
How to Make Garlic Tomato Conchiglioni Pasta
Start making this recipe by roasting your tomatoes. This recipe for herb-roasted tomatoes produces the best-tasting, most concentrated roasted tomatoes. They have a thick, jammy texture that creates a sauce all on their own to coat your conchiglioni pasta.
Next, cook the conchiglioni according to package instructions. And while the pasta cooks, you can make the simple garlic and tomato sauce on the stove.
The more charred your tomatoes are, the sweeter they will be. You do still want a little structural integrity to the tomatoes, so bake them until they just start to blister and blacken. The blackened flavor on the outside of the tomato really enhances the herb seasonings, tomato paste, and minced garlic we will be adding to the sauce.
5 REASONS WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS PASTA
It’s Meatless, but still works for any eater.
Super easy to make and quick.
Full of flavor + so creamy! (The best reason!)
Very kid-friendly (entirely nut-free).
Done in just under 35 minutes.
Adding Greens
If you want to add some greens to this pasta, you certainly can. My article, Our Top 12 Favorite Healthy Green Leafy Vegetables shares a list of great greens! Off the top----kale, spinach, or collard greens make great additions. Also, roasted broccolini is one of my faves to add.
Storage
You can store leftover bruschetta pasta in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. I don’t recommend freezing the pasta, as it won’t defrost well.

Tips & Tricks
- STORAGE: Any leftovers can be kept in a tightly sealed container and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
- VEGGIES: If preferred, you can always add other greens to the mix for additional flavor such as Kale, Spinach or Collard Greens.
- SPICES/HERBS: If desired, you can reduce the amounts slightly. Please know that this recipe is bold in flavor, so feel free to adjust based on your tastebuds.
- PASTA: You can use Jumbo shells or long pastas like Pappardelle, Fettuccine, etc. if desired, however, I would recommend tossing with tongs to ensure that pasta is fully manageable and fully coated. Otherwise, the traditional penne or rigatoni pasta works perfectly too!
