Roasted Tomatoes with Linguine

This is a lovely and easy recipe that I adapted from one I found in an advertisement in a magazine.

2 lbs tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
8 oz linguine

Place tomato halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined pan sprayed with cooking spray. Mix 1/4 cup oil, garlic, and seasonings in a small bowl. Spoon over tomatoes and drizzle with 2 tbsp of remaining oil. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and browned on top. Prepare pasta as directed on package. Place half of the roasted tomatoes in a large bowl and coarsely mash them. Add pasta and remaining tomatoes; toss to mix.
