Ingredients

1 lb spaghetti
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing everything together to coat the spaghetti evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the Pasta From Rome with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot, topped with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
