One Pot Pasta

Sorry it has been so long since our last post!  I found this recipe on Pinterest [imagine that]! And decided to try it out.  I did a few tweaks, but it was super easy and delicious!
  • 12 ounces linguine
  • 12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced ---- I use the jar of minced garlic and used 4 tbsp
  • 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes --- I only used a shake or two
  • 2 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for garnish ----I used the awesome basil paste stuff pictured below and used 3 tbsp
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
[Those are seriously the best cheats ever.]

Basically, you put all ingredients into a large pot, boil for 9 minutes or until al dente, and serve!  SO EASY!!
