Italian Food Recipe

Boil Water

In a large pot, bring 4 liters of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.

Cook Spaghetti

Add 400 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Drain and Toss

Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander. Return it to the pot, and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Sauté Vegetables

In a saucepan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Finely chop 1 medium onion and 4 cloves of garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Add 800 grams of canned tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of basil, 1 tablespoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of pepper to the saucepan. Stir well.

Simmer Sauce

Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Once the sauce is ready, combine it with the spaghetti in the pot. Stir well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.

Plate and Garnish

Serve the pasta on plates, and sprinkle 100 grams of grated Parmesan cheese over each serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
