Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add Tomatoes
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and start to burst.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the chopped basil. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
