by Kavisha Yapa

Nothing beats the simplicity and taste of a classic Cherry Tomato Pasta! This light yet flavorful dish brings out the natural sweetness of cherry tomatoes, balanced with garlic, basil, and olive oil for an authentic Italian experience. If you can't find fresh cherry tomatoes, you can use Cherry Tomato 400g - Casa Rinaldi from Luxe Colombo for the same rich, juicy flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 250g pasta (spaghetti or penne)

  • 200g cherry tomatoes (or Cherry Tomato 400g - Casa Rinaldi)

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped

  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta – Boil salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. Sauté the garlic – Heat olive oil in a pan, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant.

  3. Add the tomatoes – Toss in cherry tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Let them soften and burst slightly, stirring occasionally.

  4. Combine everything – Add the drained pasta to the pan and mix well. Pour in reserved pasta water for a glossy sauce.

  5. Garnish & serve – Stir in fresh basil, top with Parmesan, and enjoy!
