Easy Delicious Pesto Pasta

This is super-fast super-easy, work on your speed skills.

1 medium onion
1/2-1 tsp red pepper flake
Olive oil just enough to barely cover the bottom of the pan
1 lb pasta
1 1/2 containers grape tomatoes, or cut up tomatoes.
1/4 cup pesto + some for garnish
Parmigiano Regiano to taste



Away we go...... Boil salted water...
Start your sauce...
Add onions or shallots, olive oil and Crushed red pepper flake to the pan and start to sauté until tender on medium high heat.
Add your pasta to the water......NOW!
(now you are on the clock)

Now add the grape tomatoes, let them heat through 3-4 min... now mash up the tomatoes... (helpful hint stab them with a knife first they'll pop) Drain the hot pasta, add it to the pan with the pesto and stir until combined.

Serve with Parm and pesto garnish. The sauce actually gets really creamy and delicious.
Dinner in the time it takes to boil the pasta. (with a little practice you can start the sauce AFTER you add the pasta to the water)
