A quick and delicious summer pasta made with fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes, garlic, and basil. No jarred sauce is needed, making it a perfect light meal for warm weather.
1: Slice cherry tomatoes in half.
2: Dice garlic.
3: Heat a large pan with lots of olive oil.
4: Add garlic & chili flakes, cook for 2 mins stirring so garlic doesn’t burn.
5: Add cherry tomatoes & cook until they have softened (about 5 minutes).
6: Cook noodles al dente (2 minutes less than package instructions) and reserve pasta water.
7: Stir in spaghetti, Parmesan, basil, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water.
