Ingredients
12 ounces dried spaghetti
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large deep skillet or wide pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the dried spaghetti, diced tomatoes with juice, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried basil to the pot.
Stir everything together to combine and make sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
