Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried spaghetti pasta
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)
  • 2 pints red cherry tomatoes
  • 1 pint small yellow tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup thinly sliced basil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the spaghetti to al dente and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the shallot and garlic, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer the mixture until the tomatoes are slightly popped, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Add the pasta, Parmesan, pasta water, and basil and toss thoroughly with tongs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
