In a standard bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, and salt and mix thoroughly.
Chop 1 cup of tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Cut the rest of the tomatoes into halves and add to the bowl and mix.
Let this mixture sit for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. When draining the pasta, reserve a ½ cup of the pasta water.
Mix the pasta with the tomato mixture and stir. Add in the basil and a little of the pasta water if you'd like the mixture to be a little softer.
Add salt and pepper to taste, garnish with more basil if desired. Serve hot or cold.
