Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant, without browning it.
2. Add all the cherry tomatoes and stir. Pour in 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently smashing the tomatoes as they soften. Add a splash more water if the pan dries out.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, following package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
4. Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, chili flakes (if using) and chopped basil. Simmer 1 to 2 more minutes.
5. Add the drained pasta and reserved pasta water to the sauce. Toss over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce clings to the pasta.
6. Serve right away, topped with grated Parmesan or pecorino.
