Spaghetti With Pasta Sauce Recipe

Boil Water

In a large pot, bring 2 liters of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water.

Cook Spaghetti

Add 200 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

Drain Spaghetti

Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander and set aside.

Sauté Onion and Garlic

In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Stir in 400 grams of crushed canned tomatoes. Add 1 tsp of dried basil, 1 tsp of dried oregano, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of sugar. Mix well.

Simmer Sauce

Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a bowl, mix 100 grams of softened butter with 2 minced cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley until well combined.

Spread on Baguette

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on both halves.

Toast Garlic Bread

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Combine and Serve

Place the drained spaghetti on serving plates, top with the pasta sauce, and serve with garlic bread on the side. Pour 500 ml of sparkling water into glasses for a refreshing drink.
