Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your favorite pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic; cook until softened and lightly golden. Reduce heat, add diced tomatoes, a splash of vinegar, and chicken broth. Simmer for about 8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in red pepper flakes, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped basil. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat with the delicious tomato sauce. Simmer briefly until heated through. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
