Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams gluten-free fusilli pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 5 leaves fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves and dice the onion.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Combine the cooked fusilli pasta with the tomato sauce in the skillet. Toss the pasta until it's well coated with the sauce.
Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free pasta meal!
