- 12 ounces red and yellow cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 onion thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- ½ tsp red-pepper flakes
- 2 sprigs basil
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp black pepper

- Garnish with additional olive oil fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Instructions
- Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, basil, oil, salt, pepper, and stock in a large pot or skillet.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium/medium high so that mixture continues to maintain a slow boil. Stir and turn mixture frequently with tongs until pasta is al dente and the stock has almost evaporated; 9-12 minutes depending on the size of your pasta.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with basil and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
If you want to try this in the cooler months, use a good canned tomato product. Don't even bother using winter tomatoes, they simply don't have enough flavor!
