Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Prepare the chosen protein and vegetable.

3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

4

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

5

Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.

6

Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain in a colander.

7

If using protein, cook separately and set aside. Add the chosen vegetable to the simmering sauce and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

8

Tear fresh basil into the sauce and remove from heat. Stir in the cooked protein if using.

9

Toss cooked pasta with the sauce and vegetable mixture until well combined.
