Fried Spaghetti with Cherry tomatoes, Basic and Garlic Pesto

As we head to end of Autumn some the the veggies in my garden are growing prolific and it is time to use them up before the winter frosts. At the moment my Cherry Tomatoes and Basil are growing amazingly. So tonight I thought that I would try putting to tow together to make a fried pasta dish.

Ingredients
1/2 packed Spaghetti
Medium bowl of basil leaves
Medium bowl of Cherry Tomatoes
1 head fresh garlic or 2 table spoons of bottled garlic
Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt

Method
Cook the pasta for about 4 min until just tender. While cooking the pasta process the basil with olive oil to make the pesto. If using fresh garlic add to the basil at this point. Heat fry pan with a good amount of olive oil and add processed garlic, lightly fry. Quickly transfer the pasta from the water to the heated olive oil and lightly fry. Add the pesto and cook for 3 min. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start splitting.
Serve hot.

 

 The Result

A beautiful light dish with a fresh flavor that burst when you crush a tomato in your mouth.
