Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 50 grams parmesan cheese (or gluten-free cheese of choice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 liters water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 2 liters of water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt.
Once the water is boiling, add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Add them to the saucepan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Drain the cooked spaghetti and transfer it to the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Plate the spaghetti and top with grated parmesan cheese or your preferred gluten-free cheese.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
