15-minute Cherry Tomato Pasta

1 lb pasta of choice
3-4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 pints cherry tomatoes
6-7 leaves fresh basil, thinly sliced
1 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
¼ cup fresh parmesan cheese (add more if you like)
Pasta water as needed

Bring a large pot of water to a boil seasoned with salt.
In a large skillet pour the olive oil and add in the thinly sliced garlic.
Turn the heat to medium heat and let the garlic infuse with the oil until golden brown, this should take about 3-4 minutes.
At this point you can cook the pasta when water is at a boil, so it will be ready at the same time as the sauce. Cook the pasta shy 2 minutes of al dente as per package directions.
Add in the whole cherry tomatoes and stir them around until they soften and start to burst. You can use a wooden spoon to help with this until it reaches a saucy consistency, this takes about 7-8 minutes.
Add in fresh basil. Season with pepper and salt.
Drain pasta (but reserve the water) and add it in to the skillet. Pour in about ½ cup of the pasta water and stir.
Keep stirring the pasta around the skillet for about 2 minutes.
Adjust for seasoning and pasta water, and add parmesan cheese as you like.

I used to hate cherry tomatoes because I've only ever eaten them raw in salad but when I ate them in a pesto pasta it completely changed my mind

[arizonamom]

I have been making my sauce the same way for several years - it is the best
Easy and quick, too!

Yes!!! Real cherry tomatoes! So many people do plum (correction: grape tomatoes) tomatoes and call them cherry. They are very different. Cherry tomatoes are much more flavorful.

Nothing beats the tree tomato and pasta combo do try it

I had over 15000 cherry tomatoes and that's what I do

Cut them in half before you put them in the pan, the juice will be released sooner and will cook faster, I do it all the time, it's worth it. It takes one minute to cut them all 😊

I tried it with yellow cherry tomatoes, it was nice

I’ve tried multiple versions and it’s quick, easy and delish.

[demonyakku]

I like to add anchovies to garlic and oil adds lot of flavour

[poppitpop]

I was hungry so I did this and it's amazing! I just added a little cayenne pepper to add a bit of spicy flavor!
