The idea is you pile all the ingredients together in a skillet – pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, broth or water, olive oil, crushed red pepper, herbs, salt and pepper.

 

The original recipe calls for 4 ½ cups of water.  I used chicken broth for a richer flavor and I recommend 3 ½ cups.  The larger amount of broth made for a soupier version.  I had no fresh basil from the CSA this week, but had frozen cubes from earlier in the season, see them in the picture?  I did have some fresh CSA Parsley and did add some of that.

Then I brought the whole thing to a boil and stirred it a bit.  Covered it and let it simmer 10-15 minutes, until pasta is cooked.

 

And you get something that looks like this and is a delicious, simple pasta dinner!
