Tomato & Basil Spaghetti
A great little pasta dish, super easy and delicious. Perfect for a busy work week or just right for when you need some comfort food. The portion here is for one as per the original recipe, when I am cooking for my family of five, I just adjust the portions. If you like use fresh pasta, it also works like a charm here.
100 g spaghettini or vermicelli pasta ( I used spaghetti)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
100 g cherry tomatoes, chopped
5 basil leaves, shredded
To serve
5 basil leaves, shredded
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1.In a large saucepan cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, about 5 6 minutes, before draining.
2.Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saucepan and fry the garlic for about 2 minutes until soft but not brown.
