At it's core, Italian cooking is about simple fresh ingredients. Sweet little Cherry Tomatoes, good Olive Oil, crushed Garlic, and a pinch of Sea Salt make the most simple, delicious sauce that only takes about 15 minutes.
Warm the garlic in a quarter cup of oil over medium low heat for 1 minute.
Add a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes then the cherry tomatoes.
Tomatoes should start breaking down after a few minutes over medium heat. Stir occasionally to help them along. Taste for seasoning.
Cook your pasta about two thirds of the way through then incorporate a cup of pasta water to the sauce. Use tongs to transfer the pasta in to the sauce to finish cooking, stirring often to release its starches.
Finish sauce with a handful of freshly torn basil and freshly cracked black pepper.
