Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ medium onion, diced small
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 medium tomatoes, diced (4 cups)
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 pound spaghetti
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion to skillet and season with a little salt. Cook until onion starts turning golden brown, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Mix in tomatoes. Simmer until tomatoes break down and sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Season sauce to taste with salt. Stir in fresh basil.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook pasta in a large pot of well-salted water until al dente. Remove ½ cup of pasta water and set aside. Drain pasta.
- Add pasta to sauce. Toss, adding just enough of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
- Serve pasta immediately, topped with additional basil and grated Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
