Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and start to burst.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomato mixture.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Toss the pasta in the skillet, adding reserved pasta water as necessary to create a light sauce. Stir in chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Divide the pasta into serving bowls. Garnish with additional basil and Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
