Easy Summer Pasta

This Summer Pasta with basil and cherry tomatoes is bursting with fresh-from-the-garden flavor! It’s a quick and easy dinner that’s light, but still satisfying.

Looking for a way to use up garden veggies? I have the tastiest solution for you! This recipe is super easy and *perfect* for using up fresh produce (especially cherry tomatoes!). It comes together quickly on the stove and is ideal for hot summer nights when you’re craving pasta but don’t want to feel weighed down after eating.

You’ll love how the cherry tomato sauce has a light texture and bright flavor. It’s not at all like a heavy marinara sauce; instead, it’s a thin and sheer olive oil-based sauce that’s extremely fresh and bursting with Italian-inspired ingredients. Serve it up with some crusty bread, bruschetta, or breadsticks and a salad for a vibrant and satisfying summer dinner!

Ingredients:
  • 8 oz (226 g) linguine pasta or preferred noodle pasta, uncooked
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup (110 g) finely chopped onion sweet, yellow, or white onion
  • 6 large cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 24 oz (680 g) cherry tomatoes about 6 cups
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon table salt plus additional for cooking pasta and to taste/as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ heaping teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 oz (28 g) fresh basil leaves shredded or cut into ribbons (about ⅓ cup)
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated or shredded parmesan cheese plus more for topping
