Method

Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all your ingredients. Wash the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they start to burst and release their juices. Stir occasionally.

  5. 5

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomatoes. Toss to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Tear the fresh basil leaves and toss them in. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
