Spaghetti with Fresh Cherry Tomato Marinara Recipe - Laura Vitale - Laura in the Kitchen Episode 411

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free while pecorino offers a similar flavor.

Get a large pot ready with boiling water for the pasta.

In a large skillet with high sides, add a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and preheat it on medium heat.

Add minced garlic to the cold oil to infuse the oil with garlic flavor, heating until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden brown.

Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

Cook the tomatoes on medium heat for about 20 minutes.

After 10 minutes of cooking the tomatoes, add spaghetti to the boiling water.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot.

Add a big handful of torn basil leaves to the skillet with the tomatoes and mix everything together.

Serve the spaghetti with the sauce, optionally garnished with parmesan cheese.
