Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant—do not let garlic brown.
- Step 3: Add 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, and 1 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 4: Add the drained linguine and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss vigorously for 1 minute until the sauce coats every strand of pasta.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup fresh basil and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Step 6: Divide into bowls and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
