- 150 grams Cherry Tomatoes (approx. 1 cup)
- 1 tsp Garlic (chopped)

Instructions
- Boil the pasta as per package instructions. Reserve some pasta water to be used later for the pasta sauce.

- Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the starchy pasta water, salt and pepper. Let this cook for 2 more minutes and add the pasta to the this.
