Description

No need to worry about washing more than one pan for dinner ever again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb linguine
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil for #1
  • 3 tbsp olive oil for #2
  • 36 oz water
  • Salt and pepper (to taste, but generously as the pasta water will create the sauce)
  • ½ bunch fresh basil , cut with scissors for garish
  • 1 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Place 8-10 tomatoes in-between two lids from takeout soup containers (we call them quart containers) firmly, but not smashing, and press flat down on the tomatoes with the second lid. Then, run a knife between the two lids to cut the tomatoes in half, repeat until all the tomatoes are cut.
  2. Slice onions into thin slices, as you would for a salad.
  3. Chop garlic.
  4. In large pan place the linguini, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil for #1, pepper flakes, water, and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
  5. Place skillet on high and bring to a boil.
  6. Cook for about 9 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the water has turned into a sauce. Be sure to turn over the pasta throughout the cooking using tongs.
  7. Garnish using olive oil for #2, basil and grated parmesan cheese.
