Boil the water to cook the pasta. In a large frying pan, sauté the onions and garlic in oil for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. Add the parsley and basil and cook for 2 more minutes. Cook the homemade or thin packaged pasta only a few minutes and drain. Transfer it to a large warm pasta bowl. Toss with the sauce and the Pecorino cheese, pepper to taste and serve immediately. *Variation: Add 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper for a hotter sauce. Makes 6 servings
