Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb penne rigate
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you love garlic like I do)
1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (approximately 1.5 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or more if you like spicy things)
salt and black pepper
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • While the pasta is cooking, saute the garlic and the red pepper flakes in olive oil over medium heat.
  • Don't let the garlic get brown.
  • After 2-3 minutes, turn off the heat and add the cherry tomatoes to the pan.
  • When pasta is done cooking and has been drained, add in the tomato mixture, add in basil and mix well.
  • Add salt& pepper as you like, and serve topped with parmesan.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. If you can, use tomatoes from your own garden or from a local farmer's market.
  • Don't be afraid to use a lot of garlic in this dish. The garlic adds a delicious savory flavor that complements the tomatoes and basil perfectly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to coat the pasta and give it a delicious flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the dish a much better flavor.
  • Serve this dish immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will be at its best when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with tomatoes, garlic, and basil oil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your pasta al dente or cooked through, with a lot of garlic or just a little, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
