This marinated cherry tomato pasta is everything we love about summer food: hardly any cooking, fresh ingredients, and vibrant flavor. The cherry tomatoes marinate with olive oil, lemon, shallots, garlic and pepper flakes for hours until the flavors marry together. Tossed with fresh basil, shaved Parmesan and your favorite pasta, it's such a bright and delicious way to eat pasta in the summer! It's fabulous served warm with freshly cooked pasta, and just as delicious on days 2 and 3 after hanging out in the fridge.

    Lots of flavor in this. Very lemony. It is delicious.

    Nope. The lemon is too forward and fights with the acid in the tomatoes. I’ll stick to my quick sauté of garlic, shallots and cherry tomatoes (in EVOO) with some red pepper flakes. Toss will pasta, basil and Parmesan cheese for a lovely meal. This recipe is a not-so-good version of a pasta classic.

    Really amazing recipe – perfect for summer tomatoes. I used my regular tomatoes from my garden instead of cherry tomatoes. It worked so well!

    This is a summertime staple in our house! We plant grape tomatoes specifically for this recipe. I’ve never made anything before that my family has requested so often. It’s fine with store bought tomatoes, but the home grown ones are oh so good! I’d give this recipe 10 stars if I could!

    Delicious and super easy to make! Added some corn niblets from an ear of corn ,some capers and chopped hazelnuts on top. When at a cooking class in Palermo we made something similar and added almonds on top( but I didn’t have any). Love Giada’s recipes!

    Tried this today. I was making this for something different to bring to work for lunch. I used a 12oz package of bucatini and a big package of Wild Wonder tomatoes. This was so good that between 3 people most of it is gone and I may have 2 lunch servings left. Guess I’ll be making more tomorrow or the next day. We all thought it was good flavorful and a refreshing change of pace.

    This was so good! We just came back from a vacation week and this pasta salad (served on a bed of arugula with a slice of roasted salmon) was much more delicious than anything we had in any restaurant on the vacation! To save calories and increase the vegetables, I did decrease the pasta to 8 ounces. I added the kernels from 2 ears of fresh corn to be seasonal. I'm looking forward to the leftovers today!
