One Pot Pasta

12 ounces dry spaghetti noodles
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion, julienned
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 cans (15 oz each) chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch fresh basil, finely chopped
fresh parmesan cheese

Directions
Place dry noodles into a large pot. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper, and oregano on top. Pour the two cans of broth over it all, followed by the olive oil, then cover and place over high heat until liquid comes to a boil. Remove lid, then stir ingredients and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes over a low simmer, stirring every two minutes. Leave the lid off for the last four minutes to allow the sauce to reduce. Remove from heat and top with fresh basil and parmesan. Serve immediately. Makes 3-4 servings.
