Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Basil and Cherry Tomatoes is an extremely delicious and simple meal you can make in less than 10 minutes!!

Seriously though… 10 minutes is all it takes!

Garlic and Parmesan Pasta with basil and Cherry Tomatoes

Cooking is my passion but sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy to make something with a lot of steps involved.

This is the kind of meal you can make in no time at all.  It's delicious and satisfying with its yummy parmesan, basil, and garlicky flavors.

It goes awesome with a piece of chicken breast or fish (if you've got time for that!), but it's great all on its own too!

When I'm not cooking, crafting or doing my motherly duties I spend quite a lot of time planning and creating content for Dishes and Dust Bunnies.  Creating this site has allowed me to meet and connect with lots of wonderful people online – you are one of them!

Since I'm on the topic I might as well just say it…

I appreciate each and every one of you and it makes me feel so honored that you enjoy stopping by the site to take a look at my recipes, crafts, and writing!

Without you, I probably wouldn't have kept up the motivation to keep creating and posting each week.  Dishes and Dust Bunnies has become a real passion and has grown so much since I started last summer!  I'm excited to see what the site grows into! 🙂

Anyways, since I just spent half this post telling you how much I love you… let's get the focus back on that tasty garlic parmesan pasta!

It's tasty and simple to make and also a great standby for when you don't have much time to make dinner and would rather write a blog post professing the love you have for your readers! 😉

I hope you enjoy the recipe! Please find it below. 🙂
