Procedure:
Cook the pasta: Begin by boiling the pasta in plenty of salted water, following the cooking time instructions on the package.
Prepare the sauce: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until golden brown and fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes: Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they begin to release their juices and begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pasta: Drain the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the cherry tomatoes. Mix well and heat everything together.
Add the basil: Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped fresh basil leaves. Mix again.
Serve: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
This dish is fresh, quick to prepare, and full of flavor. Ideal for a weeknight dinner when you’re short on time!
