Easy pasta for two

I'm sure this never happens to you, but for me it seems that the more time I have to do something the more it gets put off. I had decided at least two days ago that I was going to make spaghetti for dinner tonight. Last night I had bread dough fermenting in the refrigerator in preparation for baking bread to go with the spaghetti I was going to make for dinner tonight. All day I thought about what recipe I might try out for sauce to go on the spaghetti I was going to make for dinner tonight. So really I have no excuse for waiting until I already had water boiling for pasta before I started on a sauce.

Tomato sauce in a hurry:

Chop onion. Saute in olive oil. Mince 3 cloves garlic and toss in with onion. Add can of diced tomatoes. Sprinkle in what seasonings you like; I used basil, white pepper, black pepper, and salt. Heat until your pasta is done cooking. If you remember (and I didn't) leave your pasta a little under-done and finish cooking in the sauce. Oh, and add a generous dose of grated Parmesan cheese on top of your serving. 

I know that if I read this recipe I would be skeptical. I hadn't intended to blog this one (notice I had already started eating before getting the camera out). My usual sauce is super saucy with tomato paste and tomato sauce and an hour's cook time. But I was really pleased with how this turned out and it was a nice change of pace from my usual.

P.S. Do you see the bread? I made that. Best bread I've made so far.
