Cherry Tomato Pasta Gremolata

Slow-roast cherry tomatoes in olive oil with garlic, thyme, and a pinch of chili flakes until caramelized and bursting. Toss with pasta cooked al dente, adding a gremolata of lemon zest, parsley, and toasted sunflower seeds instead of traditional pine nuts. Swap standard spaghetti for bucatini for a chewier bite. A drizzle of browned butter adds a nutty depth. Timing hinges on soft-skin tomatoes collapsing, pastas offering toothy resistance, gremolata fresh with zing. Involve textures — juicy bursts against herbaceous crunch. Flexible substitutions for herbs, nuts, pasta shapes. Advice for rescuing excess sauce or overcooked noodles.
