Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 12 ounces cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 4½ cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth, low sodium)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 6 leaves basil (chopped)

Instructions 

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
• Add the tomatoes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the tomatoes just start to soften. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
• Add the linguini, chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the linguini is fully cooked. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid the pasta from sticking.
