Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic and Basil bursts with juicy, sweet-tart tomatoes quickly kissed by heat, then finished with fragrant garlic and fresh basil. The olive oil creates a glossy sheen and rounds out the acidity, while a touch of salt and pepper keeps flavors balanced. Ideal as a light side for weeknights or a bright topper for pasta, grilled meats, or crusty bread.
