Cooking Pasta
1. Boil Water
Fill a large pot with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
2. Cook Pasta
Add 500 grams of your chosen pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-12 minutes, until al dente.
Preparing Sauce
4. Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Sauté Garlic
Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
6. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Pour in 400 grams of canned diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.
7. Simmer Sauce
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Add Fresh Basil
Just before serving, stir in 1 cup of chopped fresh basil into the sauce.
Combining Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
