    So, I know we're heading into fall, or maybe those cozy fall vibes are in full effect where you live, but right here in NW England, we're still half in summer, half in fall. Which is maybe a little weird since people think it rains AAAAALLLL the time here. It does not.

    Okay. But back to this pasta. It's super simple. Because sometimes we need and want super simple Friday nights. But they gotta be 100% delicious. I know you probably want a list of these 5 ingredients you're gonna need, but chances are you already gottem. Like olive oil ✔️, tomatoes ✔️, pasta ✔️, chicken or vegetable broth ✔️.

    Technically its a few more ingredients but I figure I can have the olive oil and garlic for free, right?!

    5 Ingredient Burst Cherry Tomato Pasta

    I don't often sauce my cherry tomatoes. Normally I just eat them straight with salt or potentially roast them with a little garlic oil. But to actually sauce them... well, I never normally do that. So the trick to this sauce is to get the whole cherry tomato gems in a pan... cast iron if you've got it. If you don't no big deal. But here's the secret. At this stage, you skip the oil. We want little charred bits of smoky flavour on these tomatoes. If you put the oil in the pan, it acts as a lubricant between the pan and the tomato and you won't be able to get the pan hot enough to get those little charr marks anyway without burning the oil.
