Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 400 grams Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 1 liter of water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes to develop the flavors.
Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the spaghetti. Toss again to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
