Boil Water
Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Cook Pasta
Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

4
Sauté Onions
In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
5
Add Garlic
Mince 3 cloves of garlic and add them to the saucepan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Season Sauce
Add 1 tablespoon of basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes.

Mix Pasta and Sauce
Once the sauce has simmered, add the drained pasta to the sauce. Toss well to combine, ensuring all pasta is coated.
