12-Minute Cherry Tomato Pasta (Pasta Sciue Sciue)RecipesByHelen Schofield02 October 2018Cook Time 12 minutesServings 2Calories 577 kcalIngredients6 ounces pasta (I like Casareccia, but penne, conchiglie or even spaghetti also work well)2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for drizzling2 medium cloves garlic sliced or crushed½ teaspoon dried oregano1 pinch chilli flakes12 ounces cherry tomatoes1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar½ cup fresh basil leavesfreshly ground salt & black pepper½ cup parmesan cheese or more to tasteInstructionsCook the pasta according to the cooking instructions.Meanwhile, gently heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan with a lid.Add the garlic, oregano, and chilli flakes to the pan and let cook until the garlic just begins to sizzle.Turn the heat up to high, then add the tomatoes to the pan. Cook for a few minutes with the lid on the pan, shaking from time to time until the tomatoes are juicy and blistered.Add the balsamic vinegar, most of the basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a minute or two longer.Scoop out a cup of cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the pan and loosen the whole dish with a few splashes of the reserved cooking water.Ladle the pasta into dishes, then scatter with parmesan and the rest of the basil leaves. Finally, drizzle over a little more olive oil.NotesWhen everything is in the pan, including the pasta, add more pasta cooking water until the dish appears rich and silky. You don't want it to be watery, you want the cooking water to cling to the pasta so it's neither too dry nor too watery.Enjoy!Category:Recipes« Back
