My favorite "casserole" recipe includes baked tomatoes and goat cheese served over pasta with fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, pepperoncini, and capers.

Serve this baked tomato with cheese recipe over pasta or on toasted bread (bruschetta or crostini).

-2 ½ cups (~10 oz) cherry tomatoes, quartered
-4 medium pepperoncini, sliced (Use less if you are sensitive to heat)
-1 ½ Tbsp capers, drained
-1 Tbsp garlic, minced & sautéed
-2 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
-1.5 oz (~ ⅓ cup) chèvre (goat cheese), crumbled
-3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Bursting with summer's flavor. Eat slow and enjoy the moment. Beckie

This is a fresh and rich tomato pasta bake but also light and summery at the same time.

Looking for a fresh summer appetizer? This is it! Serve this baked goat cheese with tomatoes recipe over bruschetta or crostini (little toasts) instead of pasta.

This tomato and goat cheese bake is a standard recipe in our house six months out of the year with many different ingredient variations.

The pickled pepperoncini's give this goat cheese tomato pasta "sauce" some spice, the goat cheese cools it down and makes it creamy, and the capers give it tang.

Variations of Ingredients for Baked Tomato Pasta and Goat Cheese Pasta

Baked tomato and goat cheese pasta has endless variations depending on what you have in your refrigerator: feta cheese, kalamata olives, artichokes, hearts of palm, red peppers, etc....

Want feta cheese instead of goat cheese pasta? Cool, the feta tik tok sensation video gave feta cheese a lot of well deserved play for an easy and killer pasta sauce.

The difference: Feta cheese makes this tomato bake more crumbly with a little of that briny feta flavor that's so delicious. However, goat cheese (aka chèvre) makes a smoother creamier sauce that coats the pasta a little better. Point is, this tomato and cheese bake is versatile and either cheese will work.

Don't have cherry tomatoes? Cool - just cut up any ripe tomato you got. Cherry tomatoes are delicious and look visually better. They pop open when roasted and release their liquid. However, tomato slicers or roma tomatoes are faster and easier to cut up and, therefore, minimize prep time.

How To Make Baked Tomato and Cheese Pasta Faster:

In a hurry and want to simplify this recipe?

-Leave out the fresh garlic (could sub garlic salt or powder or use jarred minced garlic)
use large tomato slicers instead of cherry tomatoes

-Skip the fresh basil and use ½ teaspoon dried basil instead

Skip the pepperoncinis and use crushed red pepper flakes instead.

Tomatoes baked with just goat cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper is just as amazing. It also minimizes time on the cutting board while getting dinner on the table fast.

This baked goat cheese and tomato pasta recipe serves 6 as an appetizer or 3 as a main if you toss with pasta or zoodles.

Baked Goat Cheese and Tomato Pasta FAQS:

Can I use Feta Cheese instead of Goat Cheese?

YUP! Both are delicious. Goat cheese makes a creamier pasta "sauce" that coats more evenly while feta cheese keeps a little more of it's texture and adds a little more tang.

Do I cook tomato and goat cheese pasta in the oven covered or uncovered?

Uncovered. It really doesn't matter, but uncovered will reduce and concentrate flavors in the roasted tomato bake and also brown up and caramelize some of the edges of the ingredients on top and that creates flavor.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve this Baked Tomato dish with something you can put it on like pasta, something you can scoop it up with like a cheese crisp, and alongside a salad or a light, cold soup.

Notes:

Use your favorite ingredients in this goat cheese pasta bake. Try kalamata olives, feta cheese, oregano, heart of palms, artichoke hearts, fresh or pickled peppers, etc...
