15 minute Cherry Tomato Pasta

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Set a timer for 15 minutes and start the recipe.

Slice 2 cloves of garlic after peeling them.

Pick the leaves off a 25 g bunch of basil.

Place a large saucepan over high heat and add boiling water from the kettle with a good pinch of salt.

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.

Add the cherry tomatoes to the frying pan and season with a pinch of salt.

Add the dried pasta to the boiling water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes for al dente.

After 1 minute of cooking the pasta, add the sliced garlic to the tomatoes and mix it through, then turn the heat to low.

Cook the tomatoes with garlic for the majority of the pasta cooking time.

Just before the pasta is ready, add the basil leaves to the frying pan to wilt them down.

When the pasta is ready, take it straight from the water and add it to the tomato sauce, including some starchy water.

Turn off the heat, season with another pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper, and mix the pasta through the sauce.

Serve the pasta in bowls and finish with more fresh basil.
