Pantry Pasta

I created this recipe last week when the cupboards were looking a little bare...

As long as you have a can of diced tomatoes, you can use up whatever pasta you have in the pantry and make a delicious dinner!

Add whatever spices you like.  Oregano or Italian seasoning blend would be good to try.  A friend even added a splash of balsamic vinegar to hers.  A dash of sugar might help cut the acidity.

Pantry Pasta

olive oil
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 medium onion, diced
1 tsp minced garlic
parsley to taste
salt to taste
pepper to taste
basil to taste
at least half a box of pasta, any shape or size

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until lightly carmelized.  Add tomatoes and spices, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and cook, stirring occassionally, until liquid has evaporated.  Serve over hot pasta and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.
