Serves: 4-6
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

- 3 pints cherry tomatoes
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
- Freshly grated Parmesan (for serving)
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
