Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the tomatoes (fresh or canned) to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Combine with Spaghetti

    Once the sauce has thickened, add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to coat the spaghetti in the sauce. If using butter, add it now and stir until melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh or dried basil, and serve hot.
