1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Cherry Tomatoes
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften and start to burst.

4
Mix Pasta with Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato and garlic mixture. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
5
Season the Dish
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the pasta mixture. Mix well to ensure all flavors are combined.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while hot.
