1 large clove garlic, chopped or grated

1/2 dried italian seasoning packet
1 can delmonte italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

fresh parsley, chopped
2-4 tbsp parmesan cheese

saute onion, garlic, salt and pepper on medium high heat in olive oil until tender.

stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth and can of tomatoes. saute on medium heat 4-5 minutes (tomatoes will begin to break up a little).

add italain seasoning and pasta. coat. pour chicken broth (approximately 1 cup) until slightly soupy. make sure all the pasta has been wet.

cover with lid and turn burner to low. stir every 2 minutes for 8 minutes. if liquid evaporates and pasta is not tender, add a little more broth and continue to cook with cover on. when pasta is soft, remove cover and turn up heat to reduce sauce mixture until it's the consistency you like.
