Fresh Pasta Toss

4 cups cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved
1/4-1/3 cup olive oil
2-3 T balsamic vinegar
2-3 minced garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
pinch of red pepper flakes
generous pinch sea or kosher salt

Put everything in a bowl, toss together. Put a dish towel over the top and let it sit on the counter for 1-3 hours. The flavors will meld and tomatoes will soften. All ingredient amounts are approximations. Toss with spaghetti or whatever pasta you desire, top with parmesan cheese and serve. Yummy with fresh bread. Add grilled chicken slices if you'd like. So good!
