Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the onion thin and mince the garlic. Cook them in the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat until soft, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the crushed tomatoes, stock, red pepper flakes, and a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Add the spaghetti, pushing it under the liquid, and cook at a lively simmer, stirring often so it does not stick, until al dente, 10 to 11 minutes.

  4. 4

    If the sauce is too loose, simmer 1 more minute; it should coat the noodles glossily.

  5. 5

    Off the heat, tear in most of the basil and half the parmesan and toss well.

  6. 6

    Serve topped with the remaining parmesan and basil leaves.
