- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt

- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, gluten-free certified)
- 4 quarts Water (for boiling pasta)
- 2 teaspoons Salt (for boiling pasta water)
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons of salt.
Add the gluten-free fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
Add the sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir to incorporate.
Let the tomato mixture simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, chop the fresh basil leaves.
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped basil and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Drain the cooked fettuccine and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Pour the tomato basil sauce over the fettuccine and toss gently to coat.
Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
