3. Add the spaghetti, diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pan. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

6. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
