There's nothing better than this Angel Hair Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomato for Valentine’s date night. The burst cherry tomato combined with basil, garlic, and cheese is the perfect pairing for this delicate pasta. A touch of red pepper flakes for a hint of hotness and this dish is perfect for your special dinner. Love never tasted better!
