This 20-Minute Burst Cherry Tomato Pasta Is Peak Summer

Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic, tomatoes, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and just start to release their juices, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
