Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Place a knife flat on the garlic and smash it. Remove the skin (it should come right off).
Place the tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt, and olive oil in a bowl.
Stir together.
Place a large pot of water over high heat and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain.
Remove the garlic from the sauce. (It is very, very spicy when fresh—if you like that, mince it up and add it to your portion!) (Optional: Remove the basil and blend up the sauce. I remove the basil to keep the color looking nice but you could leave it in if you don't mind that. You can also blend the tomatoes first, then add the garlic and basil to skip the step of chopping.)
Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve topped with Parmesan and/or black pepper as desired.
