Ingredients
  • A palm full of salt
  • 5 oz. spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon regular olive oil
  • 1 pint multicolored cherry tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • Fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. In the baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic cloves , ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper and regular olive oil. Roast until the tomatoes are cooked and beginning to burst (about 10-11 minutes).
  2. While waiting for the tomatoes, cook pasta according to the package. Add a palm full of salt into pasta water. Drain the pasta, save about a cup of pasta water. We will use it to make the sauce later.
  3. Put the pasta back into the pot, add roasted tomatoes, garlic and all of the juice from the pan. Add fresh basil leaves, a little bit of pasta water that you reserved earlier and toss gently. Taste and see if it needs more salt or pepper. Top with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
