Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz rotini pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually around 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce. Season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir well.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the tomato sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Rotini Pasta with Tomato Sauce!
