Ingredients
- 8 oz. spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves, plus 4-8 reserved leaves for garnish

- 1/8 tsp salt

- While the pasta cooks, make the pesto.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 1/2 tsp. olive oil to the heated skillet.
- Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and let them blister, stirring occasionally and gently so they don't burst.
- Remove tomatoes from the pan and set aside.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
- Return the pasta to the pot
- Add the reserved cooking water and pesto to the pasta and stir to mix
- Plate the pasta and add 6-8 tomatoes to each plate
- Garnish with reserved basil leaves and Parmesean and serve. Buon Appetito!
Make Pesto
- Remove stems from basil leaves.
- Put the basil, garlic, and pine nuts or almonds into the bowl of a food processor and pulse it a few times to chop them up.
- Then, turn the food processor on and slowly pour the olive oil through the feeder tube to blend with the chopped herbs and nuts.
- Process until all ingredients are fully blended, stopping the food processor to scrape down the sides occasionally to get it all mixed.
- Turn off the food processor, and add the salt and Parmesean, then pulse a few times to blend.
