Quick Cook Arrabbiata

This is a great weeknight dinner I found in my cookbook Pasta. It is a quick & easy weeknight dinner - focaccia bread is a nice accompaniment.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 - 14 oz cans Italian plum tomatoes, chopped
salt
pepper
1 lb pasta (strands or tubes)
2 Tbsp torn fresh basil

Heat oil in a skillet
Add onion, garlic, & red pepper flakes & cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until soft & golden, 7 mins
Add tomatoes & cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 mins
Add salt & pepper to taste
Meanwhile cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until firm to the bite; drain
Add pasta with basil to the hot sauce
Toss to coat, serve immediately
