@lexnicoleta: Somehow this pasta tastes rich & refreshing at the same time 🍝 Ingredients: * pasta of choice * 2 tbsp olive oil * 2 tbsp butter * 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced * 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved * Salt + pepper * ¼ cup heavy cream * ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan * 1 cup reserved pasta water * Chopped basil Instructions: 1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining. 2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 3. Add the cherry tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook until they’re soft, jammy, and bursting, about 6–8 minutes. 4. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan until smooth. 5. Add the pasta with ½ cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss until glossy and silky, adding more pasta water as needed. 6. Remove from the heat and stir basil 7. Finish with fresh Parmesan & basil. 8. ENJOY! #pastarecipe #DinnerIdeas #summerrecipes #inagarten #homecooking
