Pasta and Marinara Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Pasta

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

2

Prepare the Marinara Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

5

Add Optional Meat

If desired, add the meatballs or sausage to the skillet and heat through for a few minutes.

6

Serve

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
