Ingredients

  • 3 cups sun gold or other sweet cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1-2 cloves garlic finely minced or grated
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus more as needed
  • salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • ½ lb long pasta like spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil roughly chopped

Notes

  • Use room temperature tomatoes. Refrigerating tomatoes affects their texture and flavor, and cold tomatoes will cool the pasta down and prevent it from creating a sauce. 
  • It's important to salt the cooking water for the pasta, but not too much or it could cause the sauce to become overly salty since it gets added to the pasta. A few big pinches will do. 
  • Because the sauce isn't cooked, it's important to toss and serve the pasta right away while it's still warm. 
  • Set a timer for your pasta 1 minute before the package directions say it will be done to avoid the noodles overcooking. When the timer goes off, test a noodle and drain as soon as it reaches the perfect al dente texture.
