Servings: persons

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 x 14oz cans cherry tomatoes in juice
12 ounces dried linguine
1-2 cups water
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves torn
Freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt
Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

1
Set a large, heavy pot or pan (depending on what your kitchen has) over medium heat.
2
Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and tomatoes. Cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the linguine (break in half if your pan is small) and 1 cup water. Stir and bring to a simmer, continuing to stir frequently until the pasta is al dente (about 9-10 minutes) and the sauce has thickened. Add a little more water during the cooking process if it looks dry (some types of pasta absorb more than others).
4
Remove from the heat and season well with salt and pepper to taste. Stir through most of the basil leaves.
5
Divide the pasta between serving bowls and strew the remaining basil on top. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil on top. Serve with lashings of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
