Cook pasta according to box directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water prior to draining pasta.
While pasta cooks preheat a skillet with olive oil. Add in the grape tomatoes, crushed garlic and basil. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat until tomatoes start to caramelize.
Add cooked pasta to the pot as well as ½ cup of water. Mix well, season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat. Divide evenly among 4 plates, and top with additional cheese.
