Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomatoes. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a light sauce. Ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Season and Garnish

    Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy your Nonnino!
