Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion until soft and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
  2. Add in tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth. Cook for 15 minutes and then season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper (if using). Cook for 5 minutes more and then stir in basil. Let simmer while preparing pasta.
  3. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and carefully add to the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes. Serve warm garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and basil.
STORAGE
  1. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Pomodoro sauce (without pasta) can be frozen in a heavy duty freezer bag or freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
