Fire-Roasted Tomatoes with Gemelli Pasta

Prepare barbecue grill for direct cooking.

Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Grill tomatoes, skin-side down, over hot coals about 5 minutes or until skin is blackened and tomatoes are very tender. When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain; set aside.

Combine shallot, jalapeño pepper and garlic in food processor; process until finely chopped. Add tomatoes, basil, oil, salt and black pepper; process until well blended. Return pasta to saucepan; pour sauce over pasta. Cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Serve immediately.
