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. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
2
Prepare the Garlic Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3
Make the Tomato Sauce
Add the canned tomatoes to the skillet with the garlic oil. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.
5
Serve
Stir in the fresh basil and serve the spaghetti hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
