1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
2
Prepare the Garlic
While the pasta is cooking, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4
Add Cherry Tomatoes
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and start to burst.
5
Mix in the Pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomatoes and garlic. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce.
6
Season
Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the pasta. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing everything together gently.
7
Serve
Serve the pasta warm, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil if desired.
