Basil & Parsley Pasta

Found a new recipe I decided to change up. If you're not much of a fan for pasta sauce, here's a recipe to try!  This recipe does have a kick to it and it sneaks up on you!!  Next time I'm adding 1 pound of chopped chicken breast. 

Serves 5 - 1/2 cup each

Ingredients:

1/4 finely chopped onion

2 cloves crushed garlic

15 cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 oz fresh basil

1 small bunch of chopped fresh parsley

1/2 box of whole grain linguine or spaghetti

Sprinkle of salt (I used pink Himalayan 

Nice bit of pepper

1 Tablespoon of crushed red peppers

2 tbsp olive oil

2.5 cups cold water

Parmesan Cheese (to garnish)

Directions:

1.) Put all of the ingredients except for the parmesan into a large pot. Cook on a high heat for 2 minutes, submerging the spaghetti into the water once it’s softened enough.

2.) Lower the temperature to a medium/low heat and toss and stir continuously until the liquid reduces down into a thick sauce. Stir in chicken if adding and then top with parmesan, if desired.
