Heirloom Tomato Basil Pasta

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water then drain the rest of the water and set the pasta aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups of the cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices. Use the back of the spoon to gently smash the tomatoes as they cook.
3. Add the garlic, ½ Tbsp of oregano, 2 Tbsp of basil, and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine, and sauté for an additional minute.
4. Add the pasta, red pepper flakes, and remaining oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine. Slice the remaining 1 cup of cherry tomatoes in half and add to the skillet. Stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl.
5. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top. Garnish with the remaining basil and some shredded parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!
