Spicy Tomato and Thyme Linguine

In a Dutch oven, begin by heating the olive oil on medium heat. Saute the diced onion in the oil until soft. Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, half-and-half and tomato paste. Stir and combine well. Add the dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chili pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce on medium/low, stiring occasionally.

In the meantime, boil a large pot of water, and cook the linguine until al dente. Once the linguine is cooked, drain and transfer to the sauce. By the time the water has boiled and the pasta has cooked, the sauce should have thickened and reduced somewhat.

Serve with garlic bread and/or a salad.

Enjoy.
