Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Toss the cooked spaghetti into the marinara sauce until well coated. If making garlic sauce instead, simply add sautéed garlic from the skillet and toss with olive oil.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
