1/2poundangel hair pastaor other pasta, cooked according to package instructions
1/2cupor more fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat a large skillet to medium heat. When hot, add oil to coat pan. Add onion and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until onion is tender (about 4-5 minutes).
Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, vinegar, and sugar. Stir gently, breaking up tomatoes with a back of a spoon a bit until they release some juices and come to a simmer. Simmer about 45 minutes, uncovered, stirring periodically until reduced and thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in basil and parmesan, toss with pasta and top with additional parmesan if desired.
Notes
As you are chopping your tomatoes, squeeze out the inside "juice" (pulp and seeds) so your sauce doesn't contain too much liquid.If you would like your sauce to be thicker, simply simmer longer.
