Hello, recipe circling the internet.

Have you tried this yet?

As I thumbed through an old Martha Stewart Living magazine I happened upon the recipe and thought… ‘Wait, is that…? Is that what I keep hearing about?’ Sure enough! After grabbing some basil from a kind neighbor, I decided it was time to give this supposedly easy-peasy recipe a go!

I’ve heard you can make an innumerable host of alterations (we’d love to hear how you spiced yours up!), but here’s my version of Martha’s One-Pan Pasta:

12 oz. linguine

12 oz. tomatoes cubed

1 onion, thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (I used garlic paste- it’s all I had on-hand)

1/2 tsp. red-pepper flakes (I didn’t have any)

6 basil leaves, plus torn leaves for garnish

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

Coarse salt and pepper

4 1/2 cups water

Parmesan cheese, for serving

Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, pepper flakes, basil, oil, salt, pepper, and water in a large straight-sided skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls, and garnish with basil and parmesan (whiiiiich I forgot).

^^ The inspiration (which got a little beat-up as it hung on the side of my fridge).

^^ Gettin’ ready to rock – pasta at 1 minute.

 ^^ 5 minutes & 9 minutes- all done!

 Afterthoughts? Impressive! I can’t believe this worked as well as it did! Talk about a fast and easy dinner. Definitely give it a try. Thanks, Martha!
