  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine, and add the chopped basil, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss to coat.
