Recipe Directions:   In a large pot bring water to a boil (make sure water covers the noodles) add salt and noodles. Cook the noodles until they are tender but not mushy.

While noodles are boiling, place a skillet on low to medium heat add olive oil. Cut up garlic and cherry tomatoes and place into skillet and let simmer. Add salt, black pepper, and basil leaves.
