3. 3

   Roast this together for about 1 hour, checking periodically to make sure there is little activity in the pan. We essentially are looking for less than a simmer.", "After an hour, toss in the cherry tomatoes. Continue to confit until the garlic is a pale brown color, and the tomatoes have burst, roughly another 40 minutes or so.

   By this point, your entire home should smell like what I imagine heaven would smell like.", "Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and toss in the pasta of your choice.", "Toss the tomato garlic confit with salt and pepper to taste (you may also want to peel off the tomato skins at this point, as they slide right off. Or don't. The choice is yours and yours alone) and lightly smash them with the back of your spoon.", "Toss the pasta with the confit, add in the chopped basil and sprinkle with heaps of cheese."]
