1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced from end to end
1 medium shallot, chopped
1/2 cup (or so; I don't measure) olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. bowtie pasta (preferably whole wheat)
2 cups arugula leaves, washed and halved
chevre (goat cheese) to taste
Arrange tomato halves evenly in baking dish. Mix shallot and olive oil well in bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture evenly over tomatoes. Put in oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes. (Perform bike maintenance while waiting.)
Cook pasta as per instructions on container and strain. Transfer to bowl, and pour olive oil/tomato contents over pasta. Add arugula and toss well.
Top sparingly with goat cheese as a flavourful condiment.
