Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large pot or deep skillet, add the spaghetti, chopped onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Pour in the vegetable broth and olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Stir everything to combine.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and to help the pasta absorb the liquid.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated. If needed, add a bit more broth or water to adjust the consistency.
Remove the pot from the heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil leaves if desired.
