• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and dry pasta, ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot.

7. 7

   Fold in the fresh basil and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
