Ingredients
- 5 quart Water - (to 6 quarts)
- 2 Tbsp. Salt - (to 3 tbspns) plus
- Â Â Fine sea salt

Directions
- Bring 5 to 6 qts of water to a rolling boil. Add in 2 to 3 Tbsp. salt and the spaghetti and cook till it still offers considerable resistance to the tooth, about three quarters of the cooking time.
- While the pasta is cooking, saute/fry the garlic cloves and warm pepper in the oil over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. When the garlic barely begins to color add in the cherry tomatoes and season lightly with the sea salt. Cook over high heat till the tomatoes lose their shape.
- Drain the spaghetti and add in it to the skillet along with 1 c. of pasta cooking water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, to amalgamate the tomatoes and pasta and to complete cooking. Add in more pasta water if the sauce gets too dry.
- Sprinkle with minced basil before serving.
