In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the garlic until it is light brown. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and cook over low heat for 4-5 minutes.

While the sauce is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the pasta, cooking until al dente. Make sure to stir the pasta so that it does not stick together. Drain the pasta and add the sauce, toss well and garnish with fresh basil.

For best flavor do not use any grated cheese on this dish.

Serves 2

I did not have any cherry tomatoes so I chopped up a regular tomato. Whiel this dish was still very good the right tomatoes would have made it much better.
