15 MinutesIngredients
- Parmesan cheese for garnish
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth (regular broth and NOT low sodium)
- 2 large sprigs basil, chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 large sweet onion, cut in julienne strips
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid (You can use fresh if you like as well)
- 12 ounces pasta (I used Linguine)
Instructions
- Season to taste with salt and pepper , stirring pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated – I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot – but you can reduce as desired .
- Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano. Drizzle top with oil.
