Ingredients
Method
In large pot of boiling lightly salted water, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; sauté tomatoes until lightly seared, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and salt; toss to coat. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add remaining oil to pan; cook garlic and hot pepper flakes over medium heat until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato mixture, pasta and reserved pasta water, stirring to combine. Toss with Parmesan cheese and basil.
