Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Combine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drain pasta, add to the bowl, and toss well with the tomato mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese and a few additional grinds of pepper.
