  2. Sauté the Onions: In a large non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add diced red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper; sauté for another 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the Tomatoes: Add halved cherry tomatoes and vegetable broth, cover and simmer for 3 minutes until tomatoes burst.
  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Stir in coconut milk, mix until creamy and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add cooked linguine to the sauce, toss gently, and use reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
  7. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove from heat, mix in freshly chopped basil, and serve immediately.
