Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, oregano and red pepper flakes to a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Nestle the goat cheese in the dish among the other ingredients and drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil. Bake until the tomatoes have blistered and the goat cheese has melted slightly, 22 to 25 minutes.
• While the tomatoes and goat cheese bake, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
• Remove the tomatoes and goat cheese from the oven. Add the pesto and begin tossing everything together, breaking up the goat cheese as you go and adding a little pasta water, until you have a creamy consistency. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Serve hot garnished with the fresh basil.

Steps:

• Cook onion and garlic with salt & pepper over moderate heat until onion is soft.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Halve each tomato and place cut side up in one flat layer on the baking sheets. Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Roast until the tomatoes are dried around the edges but still moist, about 2 hours.
• Crumble the goat cheese into large chunks and refrigerate until ready to serve the pasta.
• Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Remove 1 cup of the cooking liquid and reserve. Drain the pasta well and return to the pot. Add the tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, reserved cooking liquid, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon salt to a large pot of water; bring to a boil. Add penne and olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• While the pasta is cooking, chop green onions: Cut green parts diagonally, and cut white parts into thin, round slices. Transfer to a bowl with the cherry tomatoes, basil, and vinegar.
• Place chorizo in a separate bowl. Chop goat cheese, then crush it and mix it in with the chorizo.
• Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add chorizo-goat cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and pasta is coated. Then put the vegetables into the pasta and stir to combine.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• To the bowl of tomatoes, add the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted. Add the pasta and stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the noodles. Season to taste with additional Parmesan and red-pepper flakes.
