Ingrediënten

10 ounces angel hair pasta (or capellini)

2 pounds cherry tomatoes (halved)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic (pressed or grated)

1 teaspoon salt

2 twists black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 handful fresh basil leaves

½ cup grated parmesan cheese (or non-dairy cheese + more to sprinkle on top)

Instructies

Bring water to a boil: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, halve 2 pounds cherry tomatoes.

Make the sauce: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, 3 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 twists black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.

Cook the pasta: Salt the boiling water generously and cook 10 ounces angel hair pasta for 1½ minutes less than the package suggests.

Combine pasta and sauce: Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Add it to the skillet with ½ cup reserved water and 1 handful fresh basil leaves.

Toss well and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until the pasta is al dente and coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed.

Finish and serve: Turn off the heat, stir in ½ cup grated parmesan cheese until melted, and serve with extra basil, olive oil, and more parmesan on top.
