Ingredients

  • 8 oz. angel hair pasta
  • 3-4 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp fresh garlic minced
  • 8 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil torn
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Start boiling pasta according to package directions. Don't drain.
  • At the same time, heat a large pan over medium-high. When hot, add 4 tbsp olive oil and all of the cherry tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes for about 5 minutes until blistered, add the minced garlic, turn heat to medium low and add remaining 4 tbsp olive oil.
  • Using tongs, take the cooked pasta out of the water and place it in with the blistered tomatoes. This allows some of the pasta water to come over with the pasta. Gently fold together, season with salt and pepper, fold in fresh basil. Serve with lots of fresh grated parmesan.
