Tomato Basil Pasta

12 ounces linguine
2 cans diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings with liquid
1/2 large sweet onion, cut in Julianne strips
4 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp oregano
Lots of fresh basil, chopped
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth, not low sodium
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions:
Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and basil in a large stock pot.  Pour in vegetable broth, sprinkle pepper flakes and oregano on top.  Drizzle with oil.

Cover pot and bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every two minutes or so.  Cook until the desired amount of liquid is left.  I left a good amount of liquid in mine

Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with parmesan cheese.  Delicious!
