Steps:

• In a frying pan heat olive oil; add onion and the garlic. Saute until brown and remove the garlic.
• Put the canned tomatoes and the liquid from the can in a blender and mix gently, less than a minute.

• Pour the sauce over the the pasta and mix a little with 2 forks. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve. Sprinkle with cheese,if desired, on top.
