Method
Preparation
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. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic and Tomatoes
While the pasta is cooking, mince the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Cooking
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add Cherry Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Combine with Pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic and tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes and lemon juice, if desired.
Finishing Touches
Add Fresh Basil and Parmesan
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
