In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and allow them to blister a bit. In a skillet, add olive oil, then add the garlic. Cook briefly (don’t allow to scorch), then add the anchovies and enough water to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook briefly, stirring occasionally, add the tomatoes, and add in some of the pasta water.
