3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Step 4: Bring the Magic Together
4. Stir in the red pepper flakes (if using) to add a delightful kick to the dish. Toss in the torn basil leaves, allowing their fresh aroma to permeate the sauce.
Step 5: Create the Perfect Blend
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss it in the infused olive oil and veggie mixture. If the sauce seems too dry, drizzle some of the reserved pasta water to create a silky and flavorful coating on the pasta.
Step 6: Taste the Sun-Kissed Perfection
