Directions
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Once done, drain it and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto by combining the basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, grated parmesan, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Heat large pan with a little oil and add the cooked pasta.
Stir in the pesto sauce, ensuring every piece of pasta is well coated.
Add the diced cherry tomatoes and cook for additional 3-4 minutes.
Once everything is well mixed, remove the pan from the heat. Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Sprinkle the pasta with additional shredded parmesan and serve warm.
