Ingredients

Pasta

  • Spaghetti – 400g

Vegetables

  • Cherry Tomatoes – 500g
  • Garlic – 5 cloves

Oils and Spices

  • Olive Oil – 1/4 cup
  • Red Chili Flakes – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)

Herbs and Seasonings

  • Fresh Basil – 1/2 cup
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and chop the garlic. Prepare the fresh basil by tearing the leaves into smaller pieces for easy incorporation later.
  2. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. Make the Confit Sauce: In a skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and red chili flakes, cooking until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing everything together. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Final Touches: Stir in the fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything one last toss to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ripe tomatoes make a significant difference in flavor.
  • Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow the garlic and tomatoes to cook slowly to develop a rich flavor.
  • Save the Pasta Water: It’s the secret to a silky sauce, so don’t forget to reserve some.
  • Adjust Spice Level: Feel free to modify the amount of red chili flakes based on your heat tolerance.
  • Garnish Generously: Fresh herbs not only add flavor but also a beautiful presentation.
