1
Cook the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2
Drain the Pasta
Once cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the linguine in a colander. Set aside.

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
4
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the canned whole tomatoes, breaking them apart with a spoon. Stir to combine with the garlic and olive oil.
5
Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Incorporate Basil
After 15 minutes, add the torn basil leaves to the sauce, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

7
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
8
Serve
Serve the linguine pomodoro hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!
