Ingredients

12 oz cherry or grape tomatoes
8 oz fresh white button mushrooms
half on an onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb spaghetti
1 cans (14 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup pitted olives (optional)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon
1 jars (2 oz) capers

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and toss the tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, one tablespoon oil, and salt on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, stirring once, until the tomatoes soften and the mushrooms brown.
Boil a large pot of salted water, cook the spaghetti until tender, and drain it.
Heat three tablespoons oil in a large skillet, then cook the garlic for one minute.
Add the diced tomatoes, capers, lemon juice, olives, butter, and remaining salt, then simmer for eight minutes.
Toss the spaghetti with the sauce and roasted vegetables, then stir in the basil if using.
