Ingredients

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh basil
• 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 pound campanelle pasta
• 1 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 3 minutes less than the package directions, about 5 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and garlic to the hot skillet and cook until garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and kosher salt; cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are just beginning to break down and release their juices, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add cooked pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; toss well to coat. Sprinkle with pecorino cheese and basil; toss one more time to combine. Loosen sauce with reserved pasta water if needed.
