Instructions
- 1
Set a pot of salted water on to boil for the Cherry Tomatoes — the sauce should be ready when the pasta is, never the other way round.
- 2
Sweat Noodles in olive oil with a pinch of salt until it collapses into softness, about five unhurried minutes.
- 3
Wake the pan up with Garlic, letting it toast briefly before any liquid goes in.
- 4
Cook the Cherry Tomatoes until al dente — bite one, it should yield with a firm white core — and keep that starchy water.
- 5
Fold the Cherry Tomatoes through the pan sauce in stages, adding pasta water little by little until it turns glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
- 6
Rest the pan off the heat for thirty seconds, then serve with cheese and an unhurried grind of pepper.
Chef's tip
Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
