Easy is the best

Today a very easy recipe that is also one of my favorite, Spaghetti with cherry tomato and basil.
When you are busy and don't fill like preparing food for long time just use this recipe, is easy you need just few ingredients and it tastes really good.
One story of this spaghetti is that for over a year in 1994-95 I was eating this dish lunch and dinner at least four or five times a week, (plus a main) sounds crazy but is a thrue story.
For the recipe make sure you use some nice spaghetti not too thin, the cherry need to be ripe and of a nice red colour, never dry basil always the fresh one and a good e.v.olive oil.

The recipe Spaghetti pomodorini e basilico:

For 4 people

360 gr. spaghetti (from italy and if you can find it from the area of Napoli)
700 gr. cherry tomatoes
10 tablespoons e.v.olive oil
12 basil leaves
2 garlic cloves
salt

Heat up water in a large dip pot and add some salt, then when boiling add the spaghetti and move for a few seconds so that it does not stick, leave to cook for 8-9 minutes until cooked but very aldente.
In a large shallow pan add the oil and the garlic that you have chopped, cook until it starts to get a light colour and then add the cherry that you have halfed in advance. Then add half of the basil and a pinch of salt, (I like chilli and always add a little, you can do the same if you wish) live to cook until the fresh cherry are soft, and then drain the pasta add cook togethr with a little of the boiling water.
A very important thing in any dish you cook is to always taste before is finished, there is nothing worst than a good looking dish with no seasoning.
To finish serve in nice pasta bowls and add the rest of the fresh basil plus a small drizzle of oil, some people like to serve it with parmesan cheese but I think that it changes the freshnes of the dish.
Buon appetito
