Step 1

In a large pot of salted boiling water add pasta and cook until al dente. Stir pasta occasionally while cooking. Drain pasta and transfer to a large serving bowl.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cherry tomatoes, diced tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Step 3

Gently stir the ingredients. As the cherry tomatoes warm up, they will begin to burst. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes occasionally stirring the sauce.

Step 4

Add the sauce to the pasta and toss well. Top the pasta with basil and freshly grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.
