Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 800 grams Canned crushed tomatoes (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the sauce and toss until fully coated.
Serve the spaghetti hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
