- 400 g Fusilli (Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri)
- 300 g cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2-3 cloves garlic (sliced)
- Fresh basil leaves (a handful)
- Olive oil (extra virgin, for sautéing)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Parmesan cheese (grated, for serving)
Instructions

- Sauté the Garlic:
- In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden, being careful not to burn it.

- Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked fusilli to the skillet with the tomatoes. Toss to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss in fresh basil leaves just before serving for a burst of flavour.
- Serve:
