Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
In a baking dish, place the unwrapped cheese in the centre of the dish. Around it, add the whole tomatoes, the onion, the Italian seasoning, season with salt and pepper, then add a good drizzle of olive oil. Toss the tomatoes. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and mix everything together, crushing the tomatoes.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup (250 ml) of cooking water and drain. Pour into the tomato mixture, add a bit of cooking water to taste, mix and serve!
