Ingredients

100g cherry tomatoes, halved

50g grated Pecorino cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Spaghetti Artisanal Pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

2. Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the Pesto Trapanese to the skillet, stirring to combine. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.

4. Finish the Dish

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Pecorino cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves.

Serving

Serve the Trapanese Pasta immediately, topped with additional grated Pecorino cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired.
