Pasta with cherry tomatoes, basil and garlic

Edited on 10/29/2020 Original post from 4/24/2018

This pasta with cherry tomatoes, basil, and garlic comes together in 20 minutes or less, and it’s perfect for celebrating spring.

Yay! Spring is finally here, and I can’t wait to start gardening my favorites herbs and veggies. Let me tell you that the weather has been crazy the past couple of weeks; we had snow in spring, lots of rain, and bitter cold, but thank God spring decided to arrive, and I hope it stays for a while. **happy dance**

The recipe I’m sharing today is not only great during warm months, but it is also perfect at any time of the year; in fact, it is one of my favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving and even Christmas. The mixture of fresh cherry tomatoes (grape tomatoes are also delicious in this recipe!) cooked in olive oil with garlic and basil makes this pasta so tasty and wonderful.
