Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the pasta.Give it a stir and cook for 10 minutes exactly, uncovered. When the pasta is cooked, drain quickly and reserve the pasta water in a jug.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a deep frying pan and add the garlic, and gently cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and cook over a low-medium heat for 10 minutes - resist the urge to stir them as this will break them down and you want to retain a little of their shape.
