Method
Pasta Preparation
Tomato Sauce Preparation
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.
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.
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
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.
Serve
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
