Easy Penne Pomodoro - Ready in 20 minutes!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add the onion and garlic, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown.

Pour in the tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce cooks, prepare the penne pasta according to the package instructions.

As the pomodoro sauce finishes cooking, taste and adjust the seasonings. Add the basil, stir quickly, then turn off the heat.

Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce.

If you like, add more basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of parmigiano. Stir to coat.

Serve right away.
