Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente following the package directions. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic, salt and crushed red pepper and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
4. Mash the tomatoes lightly with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to release their juices. Keep cooking for 5 more minutes, until the tomatoes keep bursting and form a sauce.
5. Add the drained spaghetti to the tomato sauce along with the chopped basil and grated Parmesan and toss. Add reserved pasta water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
6. Serve immediately, topped with more fresh basil and Parmesan if you like.
