Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves in the blender cup. Add a splash of water to get it going. Blend until completely smooth and set aside.
Over medium heat, heat the oil in a medium pot and once warm, pour in the star pasta. Stir to help coat the pasta with the oil. Cook and toast until it begins to turn golden brown, making sure to stir often to prevent burning.
Very carefully pour in the tomato salsa from the blender, mix until well combined. Add a splash of water to the blender cup, swirl around then pour into the pot. Mix well. Simmer until nearly all the tomato sauce has been absorbed, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, add the cilantro and sprinkle in the salt. Mix to combine, cover the pot and lower the heat and simmer until the pasta has cooked through. It can take from 10-15 minutes.
Check after 10 minutes to make sure the pasta has cooked. If needed, adjust the salt. Serve with your favorite garnishes like crema, crumbled cheese, lime juice, chopped cilantro, jalapeños, or whatever you’d like. Enjoy!
