Ingredients

4 ounces cherry tomato
4 ounces canned crushed tomato
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 sprigs fresh basil
4 cups water
course salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
grated parmesan
12 ounces linguine

Directions

1

Combine linguine, tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt & pepper in a straight-sided skillet - the linguine should lay flat. You might need to break the linguine to fit it in the skillet.
2

Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir this bubbly mixture frequently with tongs until pasta is al dente, about 10 - 12 minutes. You should be left with a small amount of liquid sauce.
3

Remove from heat and add the butter. Stir to combine until silky.
4

Serve with lots of Parmesan cheese!
