If you’re using cherry/grape tomatoes, slice in halfor quarters Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. * Grate the garlic clove over the tomatoes or chop fine.  * Pour the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Stir to combine – I like to smoosh the tomatoes down a bit to release some juice,  and then add the basil. Add pepper if you like. Red pepper flakes are good!  * Add hot cooked pasta to the bowl and toss, then stir in cheese.
