Simple 7-Ingredient Recipe

Dish Name: "Pantry Pasta Primavera"

Ingredients:

1. Pasta (any shape, 8 oz or 225g)
2. Canned tomatoes (14 oz or 400g)
3. Onion (1 medium)
4. Garlic (2 cloves)
5. Olive oil (2 tbsp)
6. Salt (1 tsp)
7. Black pepper (½ tsp)

Instructions:

1. Boil the pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
