Instructions

  • Cook pasta as directed on package and then set aside covered.
  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Dice 1/3 of a red onion and add to pan; cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Mince garlic, add to oil, and cook for 1 minute longer. Mix in oregano, salt, and tomato paste; cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5-10 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken.
  • While sauce cooks, assemble the salad: Chop lettuce, halve tomatoes, slice remainder of onion, and place all into a large bowl. Whisk together vinegar, water, oil, Parmesan, honey, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add to salad and toss to coat evenly.
  • Serve sauce over pasta with salad and orange wedges on the side.
