Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • Olive oil (don't be skimp with the olive oil!)
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (do not finely mince or the garlic will burn, garlic lovers can increase)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, or to taste (I like really spicy so I use lots)
  • 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes (rinsed with cold water then dried)
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, packed (thinly sliced)
  • Seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 pound dry pasta (spaghetti or linguini)
  • Parmesan cheese (to serve at the table)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until aldente; drain. Transfer to large serving bowl, then toss with a few tablespoons of oil to prevent sticking..

  • Step 2: Heat some olive in a large skillet over a medium heat (use enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet, don't be skimpy!). Add the chopped garlic and chili flakes; cook stirring for 2 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook stirring/tossing continuously for 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add the green onions and fresh basil; saute constantly tossing everything together until about half of the tomatoes are beginning to burst (about 5 to 7 minutes more). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat then immediately toss with the warm pasta.

  • Step 4: Pass the Parmesan cheese at the table.
