Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated with the sauce. If using, add cooked sausage or meatballs at this stage.
