Ingredients
12 ounces penne pasta
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Add the penne pasta to the Dutch oven and stir to submerge the pasta in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the Dutch oven from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pasta and gently stir.
Serve immediately.
