Tomato Sauce

Toppings

Method

Pasta Preparation

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, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

2

Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

Add the canned diced tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

4

Simmer the Sauce

Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Final Assembly

5

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce in the skillet. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly with the sauce.

6

Serve

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
