What to Buy1. Any pasta - 250 grams
2. Cherry tomatoes of different colors - 500 grams
3. Olive oil - 50 ml
4. Butter - 15 grams
5. Head of garlic - 1 large or 2 small
6. Coarse salt - 1/4 teaspoon and 1/2 tablespoon for the pasta water
7. Ground black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
8. Basil - 1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil
9. Parmesan - 20 grams for serving
10. Sugar - a pinch, about 1/8 teaspoon
How to Make It1. Cook the pasta, but don't overcook it! Add half a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water, add the pasta and cook until done over low heat, check with a fork whether it's ready inside or taste it, drain and leave in a colander until the sauce is ready
2. Finely chop the garlic
3. Heat a large frying pan (28 cm) to 6-7, pour in 50 ml of olive oil (a quarter cup) and add 10 grams of butter for flavor, mix well
4. Add the chopped garlic, tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, add a pinch of sugar (1/8 teaspoon), and stir, waiting until the tomatoes release their juice into the oil, about 6-8 minutes — the tomatoes will soften
5. Add the pasta and mix well with the sauce, turn off the heat or remove the pan from the stove, add the basil and mix again
6. Serve on a plate, arranging the pasta nicely, and grate parmesan over the top!
