Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Angel Hair Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Making the Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    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.

  2. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to burst.

  3. 4

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 5

    Season the Dish

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

Serving the Dish

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Divide the pasta among serving plates. Garnish each plate with lemon zest and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
