If you have a garden, chances are you probably have an embarrassment of fresh tomatoes and basil when summertime rolls around. This pasta is one of our favorite ways to highlight fresh-picked summer produce; there's nothing quite like fresh tomatoes off the vine paired with herbaceous basil. We recommend using some of the basil stems to amp up the fresh basil flavor in this dish even more. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the simplicity of this summery dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with some olive oil.

Add the garlic, chili pepper, and basil stems; sauté until tender.

Add the shrimp and cook until pink.

Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté with the shrimp.

Add the basil leaves and the whole wheat pasta. Toss until the pasta is dressed and the liquid creates a nice sauce.

Season with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
