THE BEST SUMMER PASTA

Cook your pasta according to the directions on your packet. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil. When it shimmers, add the sliced red onions. Cook the onions until they start to become tender, translucent, and brown around the edges. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook with the onions for a few minutes, then add your dried red chilies. Add some kosher salt. Cook the onions, garlic, and chiles together until the onions turn slightly golden. Now add your grape tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes for a couple of minutes, and then add the cumin. Cook the tomatoes with the onions, garlic, and cumin on medium heat until the tomatoes soften and the skin starts to come off. Add your cooked pasta into your onion and tomato situation. Stir to coat the pasta in the olive oil thoroughly. Add freshly ground pepper and kosher salt to taste. Top with fresh basil. Before serving, sprinkle with nutritional yeast if desired. Enjoy!
