Quick Fire Roasted Tomato Pasta

This is a pretty easy and quick dish to throw together.

Get some water boiling for your pasta. 

In the meantime, saute some diced onion in extra virgin olive oil.  After a few minutes throw in a couple of chopped cloves of garlic and red pepper flakes.  As this becomes translucent, add in a can of fire roasted tomatoes.  Season with some salt, pepper, and fresh garlic.  I added a few roasted red peppers to my sauce on this particular occasion--feel free to add whatever strikes your fancy.

Your flavors will come together as you throw your pasta in the boiling water.  Add your salt and cook according to package instructions,  I used brown rice rotini.

Add pasta to your sauce, mix together, and serve with more fresh basil.  Some fresh mozzarella would be fabulous mixed in at the last minute.
