Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free macaroni pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked macaroni pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the tomato sauce.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and optional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Gluten-Free Macaroni Pasta with Tomato Sauce!
