Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, add the spaghetti to the skillet, making sure it is submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has reduced.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
