Capellini Pomodoro

Start the pot of water for your noodles according to the package directions.

Meanwhile heat the extra virgin olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, about a minute or so, add onions, garlic, basil and crushed red pepper. Saute until onions and garlic are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and salt and pepper, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer while you wait for your noodles to finish.

Once your water starts boiling add a generous (about 1 tablespoon) amount of salt and then add the pasta. Cook until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Once your noodles have finished cooking, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

After the noodles have been rinsed, add them to your tomato sauce and stir to combine (Note: Make sure you strain as much water as possible from the noodles before adding them to the sauce). Cook over medium heat until the noodles are warmed through. About 3-5 minutes.
