One Pot Tomato Basil Linguini

Ooooh baby do I have a good gift for you today!
Fall is here and that means it’s comfort food season. This pasta comes together in literally under 15 minutes, and there is zero prep required of you aside from grating some cheese and slicing up some tomatoes. I made this the other night and commented a couple of times “This is way better than it should be for how little effort this took!” Ha! It is super luscious and creamy thanks to the extra starch that comes from cooking the pasta in the same liquid that will become your sauce. This will absolutely become my new go-to quick pasta dinner because it’s crazy fast and crazy good. It’s garlicky and rich and oozing with flavor. Can’t wait for you to try it!

ONE POT TOMATO BASIL LINGUINI
Ingredients:
- 12-oz linguini or spaghetti
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/2 t red pepper flake
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 T heavy cream or half and half
- 8 basil leaves, chiffonade
- 1 t salt
- 1/2 t pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan

1.) Chop up the tomatoes and chiffonade basil.
2.) Add all ingredients except the parmesan to a dutch oven over medium heat. Stir to break apart noodles (we want to avoid any clumps of pasta) and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring frequently, until the pasta is cooked through and sauce is mostly evaporated, roughly 10 minutes.
3.) Serve with grated parmesan on top.
