Red Hot Penne Pasta

Ingredients
1 box of Penne Pasta
2 cloves of Garlic (finely chopped)
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 can (medium) Diced Tomatoes
4 tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
1 Red Hot Pepper (hot green pepper works too!) finely chopped
A handful Red Pepper Flakes


Cost of groceries - less than $20! (serves 2 persons)

Sauce:
Over medium heat, cook garlic and onions until golden
Add red pepper 
Add balsamic vinegar
Add whole can of diced tomatoes (with its water)
Add red pepper flakes (a good handful)
Stir it all together!
Penne:
Boil water in a pot and add a pinch of salt
Add the uncooked penne in the water
Cover the pot
Check if the pasta is cooked by tasting one (if it's a bit chewy, it's done)
Drain the water once the pasta is cooked

Over low heat, add the sauce to the penne and stir all the contents together!
