Ingredients

  • 12 oz box of linguine pasta
  • 12 oz package of cherry tomatoes cubed, quartered
  • 1 white onion thinly sliced
  • 4 tsp cloves of garlic or use garlic paste or minced garlic, 4 teaspoons is roughly equal to 4 cloves.
  • ½ tsp red-pepper flakes
  • 6 basil leaves plus torn leaves for garnish.
  • 2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper for taste
  • 4 ½ cups Water
  • parmesan cheese pasta topping

Instructions

  • Prep: Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into quarters, or half if you like larger chunks of tomato.
  • Thinly slice the onion into small strips. You do not want minced onion, you want about 1" long by 1/4" wide strips. If needed, chop or mince the garlic cloves. If you are using package minced garlic or paste, you can skip this step.
  • Cook: Add the pasta, cubed tomatoes, sliced onion, minced garlic, pepper flakes, basil leaves, olive oil, salt, pepper, and all the water in a large straight-sided skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  • Continue to boil, stirring and turning the pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, this is about 9 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, season as desired.
  • Divide pasta among 4 bowls and garnish with basil leaves and top with parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Allow cooked pasta to cool slightly. It can then be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 - 5 days.
