1
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the Vesuvius cherry tomatoes and halve them. Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Wash and roughly chop the fresh basil.
2
Cook the Spaghetti
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
3
Sauté the Garlic and Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
4
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic and tomatoes. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Stir in the chopped basil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm.
