Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 quarts water -- (up to 6)
2 tablespoons salt plus fine sea salt -- (up to 3)
14 ounces spaghetti -- (up to 16)
2 garlic cloves
1 small hot red pepper or chili pepper flakes to
-- taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin oil
1 pound cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil -- (up to 4)

Bring 5 to 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons
salt and the spaghetti and cook until it still offers considerable
resistance to the tooth, about three quarters of the cooking time.

While the pasta is cooking, saute the garlic cloves and hot pepper in
the oil over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. When the
garlic barely begins to color add the cherry tomatoes and season
lightly with the sea salt. Cook over high heat until the tomatoes lose
their shape.

Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet along with 1 cup of
pasta cooking water. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, to
amalgamate the tomatoes and pasta and to complete cooking. Add more
pasta water if the sauce gets too dry.

Sprinkle with chopped basil before serving.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
