Quick and Easy Pasta With Cherry Tomato Sauce
This is the fastest, easiest way to make pasta sauce from scratch. The secret is using cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are almost always sweeter, riper, and higher in pectin than larger tomatoes at the supermarket. All of these factors means that cherry tomatoes are fantastic for making a rich, thick, flavorful sauce. Even better: it only takes four ingredients and about 10 minutes start to finish - less time than it takes to cook the pasta you're gonna serve it with.
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
1 pound dry pasta
Kosher salt
4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes (about 2 pints; 750g)
1 ounce fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped (about 1 cup; 30g)
Freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese, for serving
DIRECTIONS
1. Place pasta in a large skillet or sauté pan and cover with water and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil until just shy of al dente, about 1 minute less than the package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, heat the garlic and 4 tablespoons olive over in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until tomatoes begin to burst. You can help them along by pressing on them with the back of a wooden spoon as they soften.
3. Continue to cook until sauce is rich and creamy, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. When pasta is cooked, drain, reserving a cup of pasta water. Add pasta to sauce and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring and tossing constantly, and adding pasta water as necessary to adjust consistency to a nice, creamy flow. Remove from heat, stir in remaining olive oil, and grate in a generous shower of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, passing extra Parmesan at the table.

Simple Pastas: Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce
Spaghetti with Quick Garlic and Tomato Sauce. A generous amount of garlic and parsley lend a bright and summery flavor to this dish, but since it’s made with pantry ingredients, we can enjoy it year-round. In summer, substitute fresh basil for the parsley. Video from season 2 of Lidia's Italy (2008).

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.
