Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften.

  5. 5

    Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the tomatoes.

  6. 6

    Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to create a sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped basil.
