I made this last night, I really wanted to share it. I was pressed for time and didn’t do a photo step by step, so we are gonna kick it old school with a regular ole recipe. This is a “When the hubbyman is away” kinda recipe… he calls it girl food… and ya know what? He’s kinda right …. Enjoy!

Cook pasta until al dente.

Mince garlic  finely,  then slice olives  and set aside

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced  red onions and cook until tender .

Add halved tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Add broth and  tomato sauce & cook for a few more  minutes .Add in garlic and olives. Stir  well and cook for several minutes, or until sauce is slightly reduced, Add minced basil and stir well . .Add salt and pepper to taste.

Turn off the heat and add grated Parm.  Stir well.

Toss with drained spaghetti …..

Note: I added 1/2 tsp sugar to the sauce, the cherry tomatoes were a wee bitter.
