Instructions
Bring a large pot with generously salted water to a boil, add spaghetti and cook until al dente.
While the water is boiling, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic and chop the basil.
Heat a large skillet over medium low, add oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. When butter is melted, add garlic and onion. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add crushed tomatoes and simmer over low for 5 minutes or until the spaghetti is cooked and drained.
Add the remaining butter, parmesan and chopped basil, stir to combine. Toss with spaghetti. Serve with extra parmesan and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
