Burst Cherry Tomato and Basil Pasta
Ingredients
- 8 oz Pasta of Choice
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Large Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 Pounds Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Black Pepper
- 1/4 Cup Thinly Sliced Basil
Preparation
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Sautee garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes to the pan and toss to coat in olive oil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally for 7-8 minutes or until the tomatoes have started bursting and releasing their liquid.
Once the tomatoes have started bursting, remove the lid and using the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher, mash the remaining un-burst tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly- about 8 minutes longer. Add nutritional yeast and basil. Stir to combine.
Add pasta to the pan and toss everything together. Remove from heat and serve.
