One-Pan Pasta
/From the kitchen of Jenny Betts
This was adapted from a recipe in Martha Stewart Living, that was sourced from a trip to Puglia, so we have Italy to thank for this great pasta recipe!
Ingredients:
12 oz. linguine
12 oz. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
1 onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 - 3/4 t. red pepper flakes
2 sprigs fresh basil, plus torn leaves for garnish
2 - 3 T. olive oil, plus more for serving
coarse salt and black pepper
4-1/2 c. water
Parmesan cheese, grated fresh for serving
Directions:
Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil, oil, 1/4 t. salt, 1/4 t. pepper and water in a large straight-side skillet.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Boil mixutre, sitrring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, 9 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls and garnish with basil.
Serve with fresh Italian olive oil and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Notes from the chef:
We also make this with mushrooms and/or spinach.
