This is a hearty, home-cooked pasta dish inspired by Italian comfort food like pasta e patate, but with a fresh tomato twist for brightness. It's simple to make with everyday pantry staples—no fancy equipment needed—but we'll layer flavors for that elevated, Michelin-star depth: caramelized onions for sweetness, roasted potatoes for earthy crispness, and a quick tomato sauce that sings with herbs. Ready in about 45 minutes, serves 4 as a main. Even Uncle Roger will like this
