Instructions

In a medium sized pot, melt butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the onion and the garlic with a liberal pinch of salt and pepper. I also like to add chili flakes for additional heat. Cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes, stir often.

Now stir in cherry tomatoes and cook for about a minute. Then cover your pot, and simmer on low for 30 minutes, make sure all tomatoes have burst.
Step 4
While the tomatoes are simmering. Cook pasta to al dente and push aside.
Step 5
Transfer to a blender, add a cup of Parmesan cheese, then blend until puréed.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasonings. Toss with your pasta.
Step 7
Add your protein to the pasta and garnish pasta with fresh basil and Parmesan. Enjoy!
