Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Dairy-free macaroni pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dairy-free macaroni pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
Season the tomato sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir the spices into the sauce thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked macaroni pasta into the sauce, stirring well to coat all the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and gently mix.
Serve the dairy-free macaroni pasta hot, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
