Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes

    Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften and burst, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in the chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
