healthy sauce

Cherry Tomatoes make a quick and easy sauce full of zingy flavor, just toss in a skillet with garlic, olive oil and your choice of herbs and you're done.

Fresh Cherry Tomato Sauce with Basil

orecchiette {

Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

garlic (minced)

red pepper flakes

cherry tomatoes

salt;

black pepper

oregano

thyme

basil leaves (from about one small bunch very thinly sliced)

In a 10- or 11-inch saute pan, heat the oil and garlic over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and saute for about 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, oregano and thyme. Toss gently to coat and then raise the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat to maintain a lively but not too vigorous simmer, until the tomatoes have been reduced to a thick, pulpy sauce, 15 to 20 minutes.

Sprinkle on  the basil and stir to combine thoroughly.

Toss the pasta with three-quarters of the sauce and spoon the remaining sauce over each of the servings. If you like, sprinkle with cheese like a Parmesan, Romano or Pecorino -- whatever you like.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the tomatoes are still whole and look particularly tasty paired with the basil. Thanks for sharing
