1/2 pound small shell pasta
3 c. golden cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 purple onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

4 c. baby spinach
1/2 tsp salt and pepper

Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain.

Heat the butter in a small sauce pan. When melted and starting to bubble, add the onions, garlic and crushed red pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and thyme; season with salt and pepper and simmer on low for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should break down.
