Pasta one-pot (Italian)

Ingredients
16 ounces pasta
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid
1 large sweet onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (less)
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 large sprigs basil, chopped
6 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions
Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano. Drizzle top with oil. Try sautéing onions in oil first.
Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated – I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot – but you can reduce as desired .
Season to taste with salt and pepper , stirring pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot. Serve garnished with Parmesan.
