Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free penne pasta
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, optional for garnish
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gluten-free penne 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 minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce and gently stir to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Divide the pasta among serving bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free penne pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.
