Garlicky Pasta

This is a simple and delish dish! Feel free to add some sausage or chicken for a bit of protein.

1 cup cherry tomatoes
5 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pasta cooking water
Salt
Pepper
Red pepper flakes
2 TBSP shredded basil leaves
1/2 LB spaghetti
Parmesan to top

Cook pasta according to directions, saving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Heat a pan to medium low and add olive oil, garlic and cherry tomatoes, salt and let cook slowly about 7-10 minutes, until the cherry tomatoes begin to burst a bit.  Stir in the pasta and pasta water, add basil. Portion into two bowls and serve with parmesan
