Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pour washed grape tomatoes onto a cookie sheet.

Thinly slice 1 garlic clove and sprinkle it over the tomatoes on the cookie sheet.

Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Move the tomatoes around to coat them in oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven and roast the tomatoes for 10-12 minutes until they burst and caramelize.

While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare a large wide pan for cooking the pasta.

Add 1 pound of angel hair pasta to the pan and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the pasta.

Heat the chicken broth on medium-low and stir the pasta to absorb the broth.

Continue adding chicken broth gradually as the pasta absorbs it, stirring frequently until the pasta is cooked to al dente.

Roughly chop 8 ounces of smoked mozzarella while the pasta is cooking.

Check the roasted tomatoes after 15 minutes; turn the oven to broil to toast the tops of the tomatoes further.

Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and add them to the pasta along with the chopped smoked mozzarella, stirring to combine.
