Method
Preparation
- 1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Prepare the Sauce
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic (from the garlic cloves) and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add Tomatoes
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened and start to burst.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Season the Dish
Season with salt, black pepper, and toss in fresh basil leaves. If using, add grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to taste.
