Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

7 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3 cups mixed red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (2 pints)

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

2/3 cup chicken stock

8 lasagna noodles

2/3 cup small basil leaves

1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese

1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese, shaved

Preparation

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Add stock. Simmer until saucelike, about 1 minute. Add remaining cup tomatoes. Cook until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain.

Toss pasta in skillet to coat. Stir in basil, reserving some for garnish.
