Found this on Facebook. Interesting, because you throw all ingredients into the pot. No straining, just stirring. Everything cooks at the same time. The starch from the pasta makes a rich, warm sauce for the noodles. Cynthia A. Hobbs's photo

How To Make tomato basil pasta

Step 1

Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and oregano on top. Drizzle top with oil. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep pot covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated.(Leave about 1 inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot).

Step 2

Season to taste with salt and pepper, stirring pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot. Serve garnished with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
