Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

16 ounces angel hair pasta 

1/4 cup olive oil 

1/2 medium yellow onion, grated on a box grater 

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste (from a tube)

2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, hand crushed 

A small handful fresh basil leaves, for garnish 

Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish 

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and grated onion and saute for 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomato paste, red pepper flakes and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a simmer and reduces slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the pasta to the skillet with the sauce, adding a little pasta water if need be, and toss together. Plate high and mighty and garnish with basil leaves and fresh Parmesan.

I have made this several times. I typically use capellini pasta (even thinner than angel hair), but have used angel hair as well. It has been one of my go to recipes when we are busy, it comes together in just minutes and always receives raves from the family. Thank Jeff for a delicious quick recipe!
