Method
Pasta Preparation
- 1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine (or tagliatelle) and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.
Sauce Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and burst.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired sauce consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
