Add Tomatoes
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they soften and release their juices.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato and garlic mixture. Toss well to combine.

Finish with Basil and Seasoning
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
