## Equipment

- Stainless steel pan
- Strainer
- Tongs
- Kitchen tweezers
- Pot

## Tips

- Leave garlic cloves whole to prevent burning and preserve flavor during high heat cooking.
- Use fresh cherry tomatoes and cooked passata for a balance of freshness and sweetness.
- Do not use black pepper; use pepperoncino instead for a different spice.
- Cook this dish in a stainless steel pan, as other cooking surfaces like cast iron or carbon steel are reactive and the acid from tomatoes will degrade them.
- Add fresh ingredients like pesto and olive oil at the end, off the heat, to maintain their vibrant flavors.
