Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 28-ounce can Canned whole tomatoes, with juice
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pour the canned whole tomatoes along with their juice into the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, and salt. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the sauce. Allow these ingredients to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, which will help meld the flavors.
Toss the cooked gluten-free pasta with the tomato sauce, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
