Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Peel 6 cloves garlic and toss with tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on prepared baking sheet in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

When the there is about 15 minutes left for the tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain but reserve 1/4 cup pasta water.

While pasta is cooking, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat until cooked through. Drain and reserve 1 tablespoon pan drippings.

Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to pan drippings. Return sausage to the pan. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds. Add in pasta. Stir. Pour tomatoes, garlic and any pan juices that accumulated on the aluminum foil into the pan. Gently toss to combine. If pasta appears dry, add reserved pasta water. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
