Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring 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 rest and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
Add cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Stir in the reserved pasta water, salt, and black pepper.
Mix with Pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. If needed, add more pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Finishing Touch
Remove from heat, stir in the fresh basil, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
