Ina Garten’s 5 Tips for Making Pancakes Are Life-Changing
These are the ingredients you will need for this delicious dish:

First, combine all of your cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil (leave a few leaves on the side for plating later), ½ cup of olive oil, a dash of red pepper flakes, a teaspoon of salt and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set the mixture to the side on a counter or table for about 4 hours to marinate. This is easy to mix up in the afternoon so you have everything ready for when you’re serving.
Once it’s time to start making dinner, bring a large pot of water to a boil for your pasta. Of course shesalts the waterbefore adding the pasta, but Garten also recommends adding a splash of olive oil for more flavor. Add in your angel hair pasta and cook until al dente. Because the pasta is so thin, it will cook quickly and only take 2 or 3 minutes for it to be done. Once strained, add your angel hair to the bowl with marinated cherry tomatoes and toss everything together. Mix in your Parmesan cheese and the remainder of the fresh basil leaves. With everything combined, it’s ready to serve—just include some more grated cheese on top of each plate! It should make 6 servings.
We’re all for cheesy pasta, and this one uses summer flavors for the ultimate bite. Fans are calling this recipe “a favorite recipe of all time” and “absolutely amazing.” For more summer pasta recipes, our three-stepCherry Tomato & Garlic Pastaembraces the same fresh flavors as Garten’s dish, and it’s also quick to prep!
