One Pan Pasta

One pan pasta - ready in no time flat? yes please! Angel hair or thin spaghetti will not work in this dish - it would turn to mush. Stick with fettuccine or linguine. 

for 4 servings: 12 oz fettuccine or linguine noodles, 12 oz cherry tomatoes (sliced in half), 1 onion, thinly sliced, (red or white), 4-6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, 3 sprigs fresh basil, 2 Tbl olive oil, pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, 4 1/2 cups chicken broth

throw all the ingredients into a large stock pot. If the noodles won't fit - break them.

Bring to a full boil over medium high heat. Start timing 9 Minutes after it comes to a full boil. Using tongs stir and turn pasta frequently to prevent sticking. Pasta should be al dente after 9 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with additional olive oil and freshly grated parmesan and additional fresh basil.
