Step 1
Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until the tomatoes burst and release their juices. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Continue to cook the pasta, stirring often, until the sauce has reduced and is thick and almost evaporated. This should take between 12-14 minutes.
