This dish brings together the comforting flavors of garlic and parmesan in a silky, creamy sauce that clings perfectly to pasta. Roasted cherry tomatoes add a burst of tangy sweetness, balancing the richness of the sauce and adding a hint of acidity. Topped with fresh basil and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper, this pasta is a simple yet elegant meal perfect for a cozy dinner or a casual lunch. The recipe is quick to make, requiring minimal ingredients while delivering maximum flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until blistered.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and combined, adding reserved pasta water as necessary to reach desired consistency.
Add the drained pasta and roasted cherry tomatoes to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, topped with fresh basil and more parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
