Loading...| 12 ounces linguine or spaghetti | |
| 12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large | |
| 1 onion, thinly sliced | |
| 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced | |
| 2 Tbl Tuscan Blend | |
| 6 basil leaves, torn | |
| 2 Tbl Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for serving | |
| 2 tsp salt | |
| 4 1/2 cups water | |
| Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving | |
| Fresh basil, for serving |
| 1. | Note that boxes of pasta are often 16 oz, but you need only 12 oz of pasta for this recipe. |
| 2. | When the pasta is al dente and the liquid is absorbed, taste. Adjust with salt. Serve with a drizzle of Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, parmesan cheese and fresh basil. |
| 3. | Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes. As you stir, do a lift and turn motion rather than a round-and-round stir. This will help keep the pasta from turning gummy. |
