cookbook_challenge | Perfect Pomodoro Pasta

This one had been pinned on my Pinterest for awhile, it is a fairly easy pasta recipe
You can find the full recipe here, along with pictures
Ingredients:

1 yellow onion, diced *
4 garlic cloves
2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh basil
2 tsp dried oregano
salt, pepper to taste
2 servings pasta or zoodles

Instructions: Chop onions and tomatoes, mince garlic and set aside. Heat oil over medium heat and saute onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Then add tomatoes, basil and seasonings, press on the tomatoes so the juices release with a wooden spoon, mixing for a minute or so - then cover the saucepan for 3-4 minutes. Stir until all ingredients have combined, if it's too chunky or dry - add a little water and cover for a minute or two. Once your pasta or zoodles are ready, mix them into the saucepan and turn the heat off. Serve right away and top with cheese or go commando :) PREGO!
Changes and mistakes: I didn't have any basil so I omitted that. I also skipped the salt and pepper, my mother has high blood pressure so we try to limit salt intake, but we ended up having to add salt and pepper at the table because it needed the extra flavoring. I also only added the barest sprinkle of cheese, it needed more.

Verdict: It was okay, easy to make and good for a fast weekday dinner. If I make it again I will definitely not omit the salt and pepper, and add a good helping of grated cheese.
