Ingredients
Pasta
Sauce
Garnish
Pasta Preparation
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Sauce Preparation
3. Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5. Add Tomatoes
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Season the Sauce
Add the salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh basil to the sauce. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Combine with Pasta
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Add Parmesan
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Garnishing
9. Serve and Garnish
Plate the spaghetti and sauce, then top with fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese shavings. Serve hot.
