Ingredients
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, combine the halved tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a large bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes—this helps the flavors marry.
- Add the hot, drained pasta directly to the tomato mixture. Toss well. Add a splash of pasta water if you want a looser sauce.
- Stir in the fresh basil just before serving. Top with grated Parmesan if desired.
