Creating Linguine With Cherry Tomato Sauce is a straightforward process that even novice cooks can master. Here’s how to prepare this amazing dish:

1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, saving a cup of pasta water.
2. Sauté Garlic: While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant (do not let it brown).
3. Add Cherry Tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
4. Season: Season the tomato mixture with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. If the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce, adding more pasta water if necessary.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
