Good Food, Crappy Pictures: One Pot Tomato Basil Pepper Pasta

I know you've seen the pinterest pasta dinner that is titled "One Pot Wonder." They weren't lying...it really is. Tonight was the second time we have made it. Its really, really easy. You put ALL ingredients into the pot, turn it on, and 20 minutes later you eat. Yes, that easy my friends. I changed up the amounts of some of the ingredients because the spices were off a bit. They called for 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. It was a little too much for us the first time I made it. I did 1/4 a teaspoon and it was perfect. A hint of pepper spice in it without being too much. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:
12 Ounces linguine (uncooked)
1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes (and their juices)
4 1/2 Cups chicken broth (not low sodium. About 2.5 cans)
1 Large yellow onion (cut into tiny pieces)
4 Cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons oregano
4-8 Leaves basil (I put a ton in!)
1 1/2 Tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

Directions:
*Pour the diced tomatoes and chicken broth into a big pot.

*Dice your onions. Place into the pot.

*Slice your garlic into tiny slices, then place into the pot.

*Add linguine, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, and oil.

*Cover your pot. Turn onto medium high until it boils.

*Once it boils, reduce to a simmer. Keep it covered with a lid for about 16-20 minutes. My noodles took about 20 minutes to cook. There was still some juice in the pot at the end that wasn't fully absorbed. We topped ours with Parmesan cheese. (Pretty excited that there was enough for leftovers for lunch tomorrow!)
