Fewer dishes when cooking – sign me up! I found this little gem from Kristin at Yellow Bliss Road. I’ve been watching my fare share of Food TV lately and have been seeing so much pasta, my cravings are going crazy! In my effort to have a tidy kitchen this one pot wonder is just what I’m looking for – perhaps you too?!

Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 main dish servings
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup diced white onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 1/2 cups dry pasta
• 1 package of grape tomatoes, sliced in half
• 5 fresh whole basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 1/2 cups water

3. Bring pasta mixture to a boil. Continue to cook pasta over medium heat, stirring often, until pasta is cooked and the liquid is reduced; about ten minutes.
