Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, 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.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to slightly thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook the sauce for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss well to ensure every piece of pasta is coated with the pink sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and gently mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free pink sauce pasta.
