Pasta Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of 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 and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes

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

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the tomatoes and garlic. Toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, gradually add reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in the chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and the cheese has melted slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the spaghetti and garnish with additional basil and Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
