Easy Tomato Basil Pasta


Probably one of the easiest meals I've made yet! Found this floating around Facebook, and modified it slightly. Literally, all the ingredients seen here are thrown into a pot, and you're done in about 15-20 minutes! 


6 oz thin spaghetti (a little less than half of a 1lb box pasta)
1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomato (slightly drained)
1 small sweet onion (julienne sliced)
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
1 14 oz can vegetable broth (not low sodium)
red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
garlic salt
1 Tbsp olive oil

Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and basil in a large pot.
(I don't have a pot that is big enough around to completely submerge spaghetti, so I just broke them in half!)

Pour in broth, and sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt. Top of with olive oil.

Bring to a boil, covered, then reduce heat to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. When most the liquid is absorbed, pasta is ready! Serve with Parmesan cheese and bread! PERFECT weeknight meal!
