Conchiglie with Roasted Tomatoes
Here is a dish to make in the summer when you can find grape, cherry or pear tomatoes that are especially sweet, such as Sun Gold, and in a variety of colors, from red to yellow. Briefly roasting the tomatoes with some olive oil and salt releases just enough juices to make a full-flavored sauce.
