- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the gluten-free rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine.
Add oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta with the sauce.
Serve the pasta in bowls, topping each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy.
