Quick and Easy Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes

This is the fastest, easiest way to make pasta sauce from scratch. The secret is using cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are almost always sweeter, riper, and higher in pectin than larger tomatoes at the supermarket. All of these factors means that cherry tomatoes are fantastic for making flavorful pasta.

Even better: it only takes four ingredients and about 10 minutes start to finish - less time than it takes to cook the pasta you're gonna serve it with. INGREDIENTS:
Any kind of leftover pasta Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 Tbsp dried basil leaves Freshly ground black pepper Parmesan cheese, for serving
