Easy Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
• 1 (10- to 16-ounce) container red cherry or grape tomatoes, halved if large
• 1 (10- to 16-ounce) container yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved if large
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• Hot cooked pasta
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese or fresh mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes. (If tomatoes stay whole during cooking, pierce each one with the tip of a knife to release juices; cook 1 or 2 more minutes.) Remove from heat; stir in basil.
2. Divide pasta among serving bowls; top with tomato sauce, cheese, pine nuts, and additional black pepper, if desired.
