A simple yet flavorful pasta dish featuring fresh tomatoes, basil, and a touch of cheese.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the capellini until al dente. Drain and set aside.
To prevent the pasta from sticking, stir occasionally while cooking.
Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the freshness of the ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Toss the cooked pasta with the tomato and basil mixture until evenly coated.
Add a splash of pasta cooking water if the mixture seems dry.
Serve the pasta topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
