If there’s one dish that tastes like summer in every bite, it’s this one. Sweet, sun-kissed Sun Gold tomatoes get the spotlight in this fast, feel-good spaghetti that’s as easy to pull off as it is impressive. It’s a 20-minute weeknight wonder you’ll want on repeat all season long.
Recipe Description
This simple yet stunning spaghetti recipe captures the essence of peak summer: juicy Sun Gold tomatoes burst into a silky sauce alongside mellow garlic and whole basil leaves. Tossed with al dente pasta, parmesan, and a splash of reserved pasta water, the result is glossy, golden perfection. A finishing touch of cracked pepper and parmesan makes it restaurant-worthy, minus the effort.

ingredients

- 2 pints sun gold tomatoes
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- Basil leaves (whole)
- Parmesan block
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Method
Step 1
Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a roaring boil.
Step 2
While the water begins to boil, heat a large pan with olive oil.
Step 3
Toss in the sun gold tomatoes (whole, no need to slice!), add a pinch of salt and let them “burst.” Should take about 5 minutes. You can aid in the bursting with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Add in the garlic and basil, letting the tomatoes simmer down and meld with the flavors.
Step 5
Now add the spaghetti into the boiling water and cook al dente.
Step 6
Make sure to reserve a small cup of pasta water.
Step 7
By the time the pasta is al dente, the tomatoes have been on the stove for about 15 minutes and should be nicely simmering.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pasta directly into the tomato sauce (turn down the heat to low or off entirely), add in a little pasta water.
Step 9
Add in freshly grated parmesan cheese. Mix to combine, adjusting any proportions to taste.
Step 10
Plate the pasta and serve with a fresh sprinkle of cracked black pepper and dusting of parmesan.
