Ingredients

12 ounces linguine
1 small onion, sliced thin
14.5 ounces fire-roasted tomatoes, not drained
½ cup fresh basil, measured loosely in measuring cup whole and then roughly chopped (you can add more if you want)
4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 lemon juice
1 lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
4½ cups chicken stock
1 cup parmesan, shredded
fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet place the linguine, onion, tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Drizzle all of it with the olive oil. Then add the seasonings of salt and pepper.
Pour the chicken stock over all of it.
Over high heat bring to a boil uncovered. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes until the pasta is done and liquid is reduced. Stir frequently to keep the pasta from sticking together using a spoon or tongs.
Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan. If you want a thicker sauce let it sit for about 5 minutes and it will thicken even more.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil if desired.

Notes

When choosing the skillet or pot for this recipe make sure that it’s wide enough for the length of your dry spaghetti or linguine. Any straight-sided skillet will work, but avoid deep skillets or stock pots because these can keep the liquid from evaporating and result in overcooked pasta.
As the pasta cooks, the liquid will reduce. You’ll know your pasta is done when it’s cooked through, the vegetables are tender, and the liquid has reduced. If you prefer more al dente pasta, stop your pot boiling closer to the 8-minute mark.
