- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine for 1 minute less than directed on package. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce and salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Stir in the linguine and the reserved cooking water. Increase heat to medium; cook, uncovered, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in basil, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

Made this a couple of days ago. It was wonderful. I didn’t have linguine, so I used what I had, which was angel hair pasta. My husband won’t eat a meatless meal, so I grilled boneless skinless chicken breast to go with it. I also didn’t add pasta water, however I did take the pasta directly for the cook pot, so I would imagine some got in there from that. All in all it was a great summer meal!

Very delicious! The only reason I gave 4 stars was due to the addition of the pasta water..don't bother!! It just made the sauce very watery. I remade it a second time without the water and it was perfect!
