 Ingredients List

  • 8 ounces, weight Bucatini Or Spaghetti
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 whole Red Onion, Sliced
  • 1-1/2 cup Grape Tomatoes, Halved
  • 3/4 cups Chicken Broth Or White Wine

1. Cook pasta until al dente.

3. Using a fork, crumble the Parmesan cheese.

4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced red onions and cook until slightly caramelized. Add halved tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour in broth or wine and cook for another two minutes, then pour in garlic/anchovy/olive mixture. Stir and continue cooking for several minutes, or until sauce is nice and reduced and wonderful.
