Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Step 5
Reduce heat to low. Pour the egg and cream mixture into the skillet with tomatoes, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Divide between two plates. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and whole basil leaves. Serve immediately.
