Steps:
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until the water cooks out and the garlic becomes tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste with 2 more tablespoons water and cook to "fry" the paste for a minute in the oil, stirring. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring with a slotted spoon to make sure it does not clump or stick to the bottom, until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a large colander.
- Add the hot pasta right from the colander to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream. Shut the heat off and allow the pasta to rest for 2 minutes. If too thin, gently warm and reduce over low heat for 1 to 2 additional minutes. If it becomes too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Serve topped with the cheese.

BROCCOLI WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
This is a fast, easy, and delicious dish that I created during a sudden craving. It's garlicky and a bit spicy- but can be easily altered to be more or less of either. To make into a vegan dish, simply omit the parmesan cheese.

DELICIOUS ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Angel hair pasta cooked and served with essentially a hot pasta salad dressing and cheese. I came up with this recipe as I could not find anything to eat, so I went through my spice cabinet and refrigerator, found these ingredients and threw them together. Serve with fresh chopped tomato.

- Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper: You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.
- Garnish the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to the dish.
