Cherry Tomato Pasta

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup coarsely torn fresh basil leaves
6 ounces thin spaghetti, cooked
Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving) optional

Directions:
Place the oil in a skillet over low heat.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about six to seven minutes.

Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper; raise heat to medium and cook, gently smashing some of the tomatoes with the back of a spoon (leave some whole) until the sauce is thickened, about eight minutes. Stir in the basil.

Add the pasta, combine well and serve immediately, topped with grated cheese.
