Ingredients

• 200 grams of cooked pasta

• 50 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 10 grams of fresh basil, chopped
• 10 grams of fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 grams of olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

• Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat.
• Add the marinara sauce to the pan and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to warm through.
• Drop in the halved cherry tomatoes and allow them to soften, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, ensuring it is well-coated and the flavors meld together, about 2-3 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle fresh basil and parsley on top.
• Serve the pasta on two plates, ensuring a generous distribution of sauce and cherry tomatoes.

Tips

• For a more intense flavor, let the sauce simmer on low heat for a longer period.
• Use fresh pasta for a more authentic Italian experience.
• Garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
