Method

Pasta Preparation

1

Cook the Spaghetti

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Sauce Preparation

2

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Finish the Sauce

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in 100g of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

4

Combine and Serve

In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce. Toss well to coat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
