One Pan Pasta sounds too good to be true. Well, it is true that it is too good.

All you do is throw uncooked linguine and a few other ingredients into a pot. Add water, then stir for less than 10 minutes until the water is evaporated.

So simple and incredibly flavorful. The addition of the oil gives the pasta a lovely, silky texture.

One Pan Pasta

Ingredients:

12 ounces linguine (I broke mine in half to make it easier to stir)
12 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 1/2 cups water
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions:

1. Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, basil, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and water in a large straight-sided skillet or saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.

2. Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls, and garnish with basil. Serve with additional oil and Parmesan.

This is a quiet, pretty song.

“Before I forget who I am,
I’ll love you like nobody can.
Oh darling, don’t cry for me, love.
I’m off to the heart of the sun”
