Wash the basil leaves thoroughly and dry them and peel 2 cloves of garlic.
In a blender put the basil leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, 30g of pine nuts, 90g of parmesan cheese and 90ml of evo olive oil and blend until you have a thick sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Now wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half, place them on an oven tray, add salt, pepper and sugar on the cut side, and bake in the oven at 180° for 25 minutes in ventilated mode, thus obtaining our confit tomatoes.

Boil a pot of water and as soon as it boils, add salt and toss in the pasta,
