Fresh tomato and basil pasta

Pasta with Garlic, Basil and Cherry Tomatoes 
(Recipe can be made much larger to feed more people)

One serving of pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons basil puree (or a handful of fresh basil, torn into pieces)
250 grams cherry tomatoes (1 punnet)
Parmesan for sprinkling

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta.

Crush the garlic, tear up the basil if you are using fresh stuff, and chop the cherry tomatoes in half. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper and then just set everything aside until the pasta is cooked.

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic and basil to the hot oil and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another couple of minutes. Then throw the pasta in and stir it about to coat it well with the oil, basil and garlic.

Drain the pasta. Then turn off the heat, pile it into a large pasta bowl, grate a little parmesan over it and serve.
