Tagliatelle with Cherry Tomatoes

Wash, dry the cherry tomatoes well and leave them whole. Set aside.
Cut the garlic cloves into very thin slices. Set aside.
In a frying pan add olive oil, add the whole cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook covered over a medium heat for about three minutes.
Add the sliced garlic, sugar and chilli flakes or cayenne pepper to taste. Let it continue to cook over very low heat for a few minutes.
At the same time, place plenty of water in a large pot and wait until it is boiling to add the salt. This increases the temperature of the water.
Add the tagliatelle and cook according to the directions on the product.
When the tagliatelle is al dente, immediately add it to the pan with the cherry tomato sauce. Add a ladleful of the water from the tagliatelle. Combine well and add the fresh basil leaves.
Serve and sprinkle with a little more fresh basil leaves and olive oil. If you like, sprinkle with a little grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano cheese.
