Creamy whole wheat pasta with roasted tomatoes

This creamy pasta recipe with roasted tomatoes has become a wild card because it is creamy, very quick to prepare and because it tastes amazing.

It is also perfect to take advantage of those cherry tomatoes that sometimes stay in the fridge and soft and that you do not want to take in a salad but that roasts are perfect.

I have prepared it with wholemeal pasta because I love how it looks but you can use the pasta that you like the most without problem.

You can also prepare tomatoes in advance as hereso you will have tomatoes to use at any time.
