Pasta casseroles are perfect for making a basic meal much more comforting! The trick is to finish cooking in the oven on "broil" or "grill" mode to nicely brown the top!

I made this dish with the last old cherry tomatoes of the season that I had at home. They wouldn't have been very good to eat raw on their own, so it was a good opportunity to cook them. (To my French friends, I know your seasons are always ahead, so you'll tell me that cherry tomato season ended 2 months ago, haha, but I can't change that 😭😭😅).

Steps

In a gratin dish, place the garlic clove with its skin still on, the cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Bake the dish at 180 degrees C (355°F) for 20 minutes. In the meantime, cook the pasta in water!
While the cherry tomatoes are baking in the oven and the pasta is cooking on the stovetop, prepare the cheesy gratin sauce! Blend all the ingredients in a blender. Then pour the mixture into a saucepan. Heat while whisking continuously. When the mixture thickens and becomes stringy like melted cheese, turn off the heat.
Drain the pasta. Retrieve your baking dish from the oven. Add the pasta and soy cream. Mix. Adjust the seasoning. Pour the "cheese" on top and bake for 10 minutes. Finish cooking for 2-3 minutes using the "grill" or "broil" function to nicely brown the top! It's ready 🥰
