Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, minced
- 8 - 10 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 oz can whole plum tomatoes (I like Muir Glen or Red Gold brands)
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth (reduced sodium is preferred)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 16 oz dry spaghetti pasta
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- minced fresh basil for garnish
- additional grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a wide, deep skillet or dutch oven over MED-LOW heat. Add olive oil, onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and mash until desired consistency is reached. Add chicken broth and stir to combine. Increase heat to MED-HIGH / HIGH and bring to a boil.
- Add Italian seasoning, salt, thyme, basil, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Add pasta and stir to combine well.
- Reduce heat until liquid is simmering, cover and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- After 8-10 minutes, most of the liquid should be absorbed and pasta should be tender.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve hot, topped with fresh basil and additional Parmesan if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For a meat sauce, feel free to brown some ground beef or Italian sausage before cooking the onion and garlic. Drain meat if needed, then continue with step 1 of the recipe.
- For meatballs, I like to bake my meatballs using this recipe, but you can brown them if you prefer. Follow steps 1-5 in the recipe linked above, then bake for 25-30 minutes. Increase the chicken broth by 1/3 cup to make more of a sauce to coat the meatballs.
