Ingredients

6 servings

•

4 tablespoons olive oil
•

2 cloves garlic
•

0.25 cup chopped onion
•

2 tablespoons dried parsley
•

1 tablespoon dried basil

•

ground black pepper to taste
•

1 (29 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained
•

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
•

12 ounces angel hair pasta

Instructions

Warm oil in a medium saucepan over low heat and sauté garlic; heat through until garlic turns translucent, not brown. Add onion and cook over low heat until translucent; 5 to 10 minutes.
Add parsley, basil, and black pepper; stir. Add tomatoes and cover; raise heat to medium and bring to a strong simmer. Lower heat and add red pepper flakes. Cover the saucepan and cook for 25 to 35 minutes.
Continue to let the sauce cook over medium-low heat uncovered for 10 minutes or until it thickens. The sauce can be run in the food processor for 2 to 3 seconds to achieve a more uniform consistency.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce.
