Recipe Introduction


Fresh basil leaves and organic tomatoes dress long thin pasta that's as delish as restaurant fare.





List of Ingredients



• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  
• 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic plain or fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained

• 8 oz uncooked angel hair (capellini) pasta
  
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Add tomatoes, garlic and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
