Instructions:

1. Prep the Tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the Campari tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven until charred and bursting, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook the Pasta: While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water for later use, then drain the pasta and set aside. Toss the drained pasta with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
3. Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Chop the roasted Campari tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes, and add them to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream, pasta water, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir in the dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Finish the Dish: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Let the pasta cook in the sauce for an additional minute or two, so it absorbs the flavors.
6. Serve: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad and a glass of your favorite wine.
