Calories: 436kcal
Equipment
- 1 large skillet or braiser
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine
- 12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced thinly or minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 4 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Begin the recipe in a large skillet or pot over high heat, combine the 12 ounces linguine pasta, 12 ounces tomato halves, 1 cup sliced onion, 4 cloves sliced garlic, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil, 4 ½ cups water, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Bring the ingredients to a boil, stirring and turning the pasta frequently using a pair of tongs to ensure that everything cooks evenly.
- Once the pasta is al dente and the water has nearly evaporated from the pan, give the pasta a taste, and feel free to season it with a little more salt and ground black pepper before serving.
- Serve immediately while warm topped with a drizzle of additional olive oil and 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcook the pasta, cook it until it's fork tender, al dente. Adjust cooking time as needed.
- I prefer to cook the pasta in a deep and large skillet or braiser pan, but a large pot could be used instead.
- Be sure to use the olive oil while cooking and drizzle on more before serving to add additional flavor and prevent the pasta from drying out.
- Feel free to pair this pasta with your favorite cooked protein. Chicken, rotisserie chicken, and shrimp are great options.
