• 12 oz (340g) spaghetti or other long pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 can (14.5 oz / 411g) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 3 cups (720ml) vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
3. Add the spaghetti, breaking it in half if needed to fit. Stir well, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired.
