Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather and measure all the ingredients before starting the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spaghettini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghettini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked spaghettini to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Finish with Basil and Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
