TIPS:
Adding oil with butter prevents butter from burning.
Fresh mint or dried mint can be used. Dried mint gives different flavour to the dish.
For drying Mint just keep them in a shaded place for 2-3 days and store in an airtight container for few months. You can crush them and add minty flavour to any dish.
If you don't have cherry tomatoes, you can use small sized tomatoes cut into cubes.
Any kind of cheese can be added instead of parmesan.
Instead of spiral pasta can add penne pasta or macaroni
