Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes Recipe

Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 350 grams spaghetti
  • 300 grams cherry tomatoes
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Basil (if you do not have its ok)
  • a sprinkle of love, do not ever forget that it’s important
  • Handful of breadcrumbs toasted if you like them

Method

Fill your pasta pot with water, add some salt and turn it on to boil. Toss the pasta in when the water boils.

In the meantime, wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

Put some oil in your fry pan, and when the oil is warm, add the garlic.

Stir fry the garlic until is nice and golden.

Now add the tomatoes, sprinkle some salt and with a fork squish few tomatoes so the juice will come out.

Let them cook until the pasta is ready (15 minutes or more depends on your taste).

After that, drain and rinse the pasta but reserve a cup of the pasta water.

Put your cooked spaghetti in the fry pan with the tomatoes.

Mix everything for a minute; if it’s too dry add some of the water that you put aside previously.

Put some spaghetti with cherry tomatoes in a plate, and sprinkle with some Parmiggiano, some love and some bread crumbs if you like.
