Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the gluten-free bowtie pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well.
Add dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and set aside.

Serve the pasta hot, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
