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.
