 6 minutes.

 Add garlic, shallot, 1 ts kosher salt, 1 ts black pepper, and a
 pinch of red pepper, if using, and toss to combine with the
 tomatoes. Cook for about 6 minutes, until the shallots are
 translucent and the tomatoes are fully softened yet still intact.
 Meanwhile, add pasta to the boiling salted water and cook until al
 dente according to the packaging directions, about 2 minutes.
 Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then strain the pasta.

 Add the cooked pasta, herbs and a bit of the reserved pasta water
 to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine, until you
 have a glossy pasta sauce; add more pasta water slowly, if needed.
 Serve topped with plenty of Parmesan.
