Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the fettuccine or tagliatelle. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Sauce
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Toss well to combine.
Adjust Consistency
If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency. Stir in the chopped basil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil if desired.
