Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to packaged instructions. Save about ½ to 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside.
- Heat a large pan, then add the olive oil. Add crushed red pepper flakes, onion, and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromas are released. Then add cherry tomatoes. Close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes. You will hear the cherry tomatoes start to burst and the liquid will release. You may use the back of your spatula to crush the remaining tomatoes if needed.

- Garnish with additional basil leaves, parmesan, or your favorite vegan cheese, and serve warm!
