Salsa de pasta con tomates cherry

Ingredientes

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 can whole tomatoes (14.5 oz or 400 g)
• 1 large handful cherry tomatoes, halved (a small pack, or as many as you like!)
• big pinch salt
• big pinch pepper
• 1/2 pack pasta noodles, cooked (around 200 g or 8 oz)
• handful fresh basil leaves
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• sprinkle grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet until hot, then add the crushed garlic and sauté for a minute.

2. 2

   Add the canned tomatoes with their juice, the cherry tomatoes, the salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tomatoes have softened.

4. 4

   Either keep the sauce chunky as is, or remove half of the sauce to a blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the blended sauce back into the skillet with the unblended sauce, and add the cooked spaghetti and toss to combine.

5. 5

   Add the chopped fresh basil and the butter, and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with lots of Parmesan cheese and drizzle with olive oil just before serving.
