Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup basil, half to cook in, half for fresh garnish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 16 ounces linguine
  • 2 cups water
  • 24 ounces marinara or spaghetti sauce 24 oz = 3 cups
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup Violife Vegan Parmesan wedge, grated optional

Instructions

  • Dice the onion, mince the garlic and chop the basil.
    1 large yellow onion, diced, 4 cloves garlic, minced, ¼ cup basil, half to cook in, half for fresh garnish
  • Add diced onion to a large saucepan or shallow pot over medium heat with olive oil. Fry the onion for about 5-7 minutes in the oil until it is translucent and fragrant.
    2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Snap the linguine in half so it easily fits in your pot or pan. Add the linguine, water, sauce, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic, and half of the basil to the pot.
    16 ounces linguine, 2 cups water, 24 ounces marinara or spaghetti sauce, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ¼ cup basil, half to cook in, half for fresh garnish
  • Cover and bring heat up to high. Cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sample after 12 minutes and stop cooking once the linguine reaches al dente.
  • Uncover and bring the heat down to a low simmer, allowing any excess liquid to cook off.
  • Garnish with remaining basil, option to garnish with Parmesan. Enjoy hot.

Notes

  • If you're adding your favorite seasonal veggies to this dish, add them in step 2 with the onions.
  • You can use spaghetti or fettuccine in place of linguine. Just bear in mind the cooking time may vary. Check it after 12 minutes and then watch it close.
