Warm the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 4 minutes, until the tomatoes start to burst.
Add the spaghetti and 4 cups of water, then simmer for 10 minutes. Toss often with tongs until the pasta is tender and the sauce is thick and glossy.
Take the pan off the heat. Toss through the basil and most of the parmesan until glossy, adding a splash of water if it looks dry.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with the rest of the parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
