Rice and Tomato Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat it with the oil and onion mixture. Pour in the water, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

    In a separate pot, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried basil. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve topped with the warm tomato sauce. Add grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
