15 Minute Summertime Linguine Pasta with Fresh Basil and Cherry Tomatoes

I shall explain.

1. This pasta dish only takes 15 minutes from start to finish. 15 MINUTES!!!! Need I say more? (Probably not, but I'm going to).
2. The only thing you have to cook is the linguine. In a pot on the stove for 10 minutes. Super easy. No oven. Yessss summer food.
3. It only has 5 ingredients!! Linguine, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Done and done.

To conclude:

15 minutes, 5 ingredients, just cook the pasta. YES PLEASE!

I can't even tell you how much I love this dish. Or how often I've made it (pretty much all the time). So simple and easy! With fresh halved cherry tomatoes and slivers of basil, just a couple ingredients go a loooong way. Trust me, whip this up on a hot day and there won't be a leftover in sight!!
