Spaghetti with Tomato Saute image

A medley of ripe cherry tomatoes burst within minutes of contact with high heat, and release juices that melt into a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and red-pepper flakes-just perfect for tossing with pasta for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. In the unlikely event of leftovers, this pasta is great at room temperature, too.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 pints red, orange, and yellow pear or cherry tomatoes (about 2 pounds), halved if large; plus a few more, still on the vine (optional)
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
12 ounces spaghetti or bucatini
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • If you aren't using any tomatoes on vine, skip to step 2. Otherwise, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add tomatoes on vine, season with salt, and cook, gently stirring, until skins begin to pucker, about 3 minutes, depending on size. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and remaining tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are just beginning to break down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and season with salt. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water 1 minute less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and return to pot. Add 1/3 cup pasta water, tomato mixture, and Parmigiano.
  • Cook over medium heat, tossing, until pasta is evenly coated, about 2 minutes, adding more pasta water as needed. To serve, top pasta with ricotta and sautéed tomatoes on the vine (if using); drizzle pasta with oil, then sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes and basil.
