Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion, carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them on top of the spaghetti.
Serve hot. If desired, top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
