This is a super-simple, quick pasta recipe that tastes best with cherry tomatoes or other sun-ripened tomatoes. It is perfect during the summer months when tomatoes are in season.

This is a great, simple recipe. Be sure to heavily salt your pasta water (like sea water) and save some of that pasta water to add to the final dish as the starch will thicken things up. I used chopped tomatoes, skipped the parmesan and this tasted great. In a pinch, you can throw everything together in one pot and the pasta and other ingredients will all cook together (start with cold salted water, less water than you'd usually use), just stop cooking with the pasta is to your liking, less than the usual time. You could also use chicken broth in place of the salted water and then salt to taste. Read More

Added mushrooms for extra texture and flavor. Mash some of the tomatoes to release juice for a saucier taste. Read More

Great simple recipe. I added some red pepper flakes for a little kick and some basil for a little more depth of flavor. I also added pasta water to make it a little more brothy to enjoy all these flavors. Read More
