Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt, then add the imported pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the imported olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic (2 cloves) and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the imported tomatoes to the skillet, breaking them up with a spoon. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the imported basil leaves and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and sprinkle with grated imported Parmesan cheese before serving. Garnish with extra basil leaves if desired.
