Let's cook

  1. Cook the spaghetti in well-salted boiling water. Save 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Warm 1/4 cup oil and the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and 1 tsp salt and cook 6 to 8 minutes, pressing some to burst, until saucy.

  3. Add the spaghetti and a splash of pasta water and toss. Stir in the basil and Parmesan and season with pepper.
