Cook the bucatini pasta according to package instructions. Scoop out 1 cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta. Set both the pasta and the water aside.

Blend together the diced tomatoes, ricotta cheese, garlic, salt, and half of the romano cheese in a food processor until smooth. You've now made homemade tomato-ricotta pesto.

Pour the pesto over the pasta, adding reserved pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce.

In a skillet, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat, add the panko bread crumbs, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs are toasted. Add juice from half the lemon, stir, and remove from heat.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over high heat, and add the cherry tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, thyme, and shallot. Cook for about 5 minutes until tomatoes begin to burst.

Add the balsamic vinegar, stir, and remove from heat.

Combine pasta with tomato-ricotta pesto, balsamic burst cherry tomatoes, and lemony panko bread crumbs. Toss well to combine.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and the remaining romano cheese.
