Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes and Toasted Garlic (courtesy of Ellie Krieger)
¾ pound whole grain spaghetti3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium cloves garlic, finely sliced
3 cups (1 ½ pounds) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons
1/3 cup fresh, coarsely grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Drain.
Meanwhile, put the oil and garlic in a large skillet over a medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the tomatoes to the toasted garlic. Turn the heat up to medium-high, cover and cook until the tomatoes are warm and softened but still retain their shape, about 3 minutes.
Add the pasta, ¼ cup basil, ¼ cup of the cheese, salt and pepper to the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Serve garnished with the remaining cheese and basil.
