1
Boil the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes.
2
Drain the Pasta
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

3
Sauté Garlic
In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and start to burst.
5
Combine Ingredients
Stir in the cooked penne pasta, chopped basil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired sauce consistency.
6
Season
Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again to combine all flavors.

7
Plate the Dish
Serve the Penedès hot, garnished with extra basil and Parmesan cheese if desired.
