Ingredients

  • 200 grams pasta I prefer tagliatelle or linguine for this dish
  • 300 grams cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter 30 grams
  • small bunch fresh parsley or basil chopped

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a non stick pan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and stir in a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta to packet instructions. Reserve a cup of the cooking water before draining.
  • The tomatoes should be blistering and releasing their juices. Stir in the garlic and use the back of a wooden spoon to slightly squash the tomatoes.
  • After 2-3 minutes, when the garlic becomes fragrant, stir in the chopped herbs plus 1-2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
  • Toss through the pasta, using more pasta water as desired to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Garnish with more chopped herbs to serve.
