Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gluten-free pasta shells
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add gluten-free pasta shells and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and set aside.
Taste the tomato sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Combine the drained pasta shells with the tomato sauce in the skillet. Stir well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free pasta shells with tomato sauce!
