Cheesy bacon potato bites party

Ingredients:

12 ounces pasta (I used Linguine)

1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid ( I used zesty red pepper flavor)

1 large sweet onion, cut in julienne strips

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

2 large sprigs basil, chopped

4 1/2 cups vegetable broth (regular broth and NOT low sodium)

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.

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 cheese.
