One Pot Pasta

I find a ton of recipes on Pinterest...but don't make very many of them.  One caught my eye yesterday that sounded to good - and too easy - to be true.  So, I decided to give it a try.  It was both good and easy!  I made some minor modifications to the original recipe (www.apronstringsblog.com/one-pot-wonder-tomato-basil-pasta-recipe/?fb_source=pubv1).  Enjoy!

You will need:

12 oz linguini (I used 100% whole wheat)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 medium sized sweet onion, chopped
1 - 15 oz can diced tomatoes with juice (I used fired roasted tomatoes)*
3 tomatoes, cubed
2 tbsp each fresh basil and fresh oregano, chopped
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp olive oil
4 C vegetable broth
1/2 C water
Salt & pepper to taste

Place the linguini, garlic, onion, tomatoes, pepper flakes, and half the herbs in a large stock pot.  Add the broth, water and oil and combine.  Bring pot to a boil, cover, and reduce to medium low.  Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add remaining herbs, stir, and continue to cook until noodles are tender - about another 5 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

*If you prefer to use just fresh tomatoes, add 3 more in place of the can of tomatoes along with another 1/4 C water.
