Penne alla Siciliana instructions

1. Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package. When done, set to the side..
2. In a medium to large pot, put Olive Oil into it over a medium/medium high flame. Add the diced onion and garlic into the pot, along with the pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent and the garlic is browned. For my preference, I remove the garlic here, but you can keep it in there..
