Pasta Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the Cherry Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and start to release their juices.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomatoes. Toss to combine and add a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce. Stir in the chopped basil, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to taste.
Serve
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil if desired.
