Eating this dish alone with a piece of good garlic bread or French bread is enough! However, if you want a salad, try my Caesar salad. Here’s a link for that: https://the2spoons.com/a-classic-beautiful-caesar-salad/

Hope you enjoy this simple recipe! The recipe is for two, however, just double or triple and the delicious flavors will remain the same!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups cups whole cherry tomatoes (I used Sun Gold)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more to drizzle on finished dish
  • 1/4 cup Parmigiana Reggiana Cheese finely, Parmesan or Pecorino Romano grated plus more for finishing the dish
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pasta water
  • fresh basil, torn
  • 8-16 oz spaghetti

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water that has been salted to a boil. Cook your pasta to your desired firmness! I actually like mine softer than al dente.
  • While your pasta is cooking, wash and pat dry your tomatoes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but don’t burn. Add your tomatoes and cook until they have burst and a sauce begins to form. Shake the pan while cooking to insure all sides are cooking.
  • When your tomatoes have burst and your sauce begins to make add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don’t drain your pasta, but remove your pasta with a spider or tongs from the pasta water into your skillet with the sauce. Add a ladle of pasta water and combine your pasta with the sauce and cook for a minute or two. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and combine gently adding more pasta water if needed. Turn the heat off and toss in some torn basil leaves.
  • Plate your spaghetti and spoon over the remaining sauce. Add some Parmesan strips, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and more basil if desired. Bon Appetite!
