Super Easy Tomato Pasta
Garden to table - it's my summer motto. All our meals during the summer revolve around what we can create from our garden. One of our absolute favorite meals is simple and involves just 6 ingredients: tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, olive oil, pasta.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Lb Pasta of choice
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 Onion diced
- 2 Cloves Garlic minced
- 6-8 Roma or San Marzano tomatoes
- Handful of fresh chopped basil
Instructions
- Boil pasta according to package. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- In a saute pan, add olive oil and onion – sauteing until onions are soft and translucent. Add the garlic.
- Once garlic is fragrant, add tomatoes. Continue cooking until soft, 6-8 minutes.
- Add all the herbs! This is the point to add s&p, dried basil, oregano, fennel seed,… you name it!
- Add pasta to pan and mix well to combine. Add pasta water if needed. Sprinkle with basil. A few red pepper flakes never hurt anybody either!
