- Add 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes (halved if large) and 1/2 cup of packed fresh basil leaves to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until tomatoes are softened and heated through.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and the cooked pasta. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup) and extra fresh basil, if desired.
