Method
Cooking the Pasta
Boil the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the pasta.
Cook the Pasta
Add the angel hair pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Drain and Rinse
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Making the Sauce
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat for about 1 minute.
Add Cherry Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring gently. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Season the Sauce
Stir in the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Combining Pasta and Sauce
Combine Pasta with Sauce
Add the drained angel hair pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve
Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired. Enjoy!
