Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 tsp finely minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp chopped basil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Grinding of fresh black pepper
  • 2 lbs Roma tomatoes, skinned and seeded
  • 8 oz angel-hair pasta
  • 1/4 cup shaved Romano cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 2-3 minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute, then add the pepper flakes, basil, salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and lower the heat to a simmer, cooking 5 minutes. 
  • While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta until it is just about done. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, cooking the pasta in the sauce on medium-low heat for 1 ½ minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and the sauce is thick. 
  • Serve in bowls topped with shaved Romano cheese.
