1
Cook the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
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.
3
Add Tomatoes and Combine
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
5
Finish with Basil and Cheese
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6
Serve
Divide the pasta among serving plates and enjoy while hot.
