Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g linguine pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes (no added salt)
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the marinara sauce cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the marinara sauce and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Divide the pasta between two serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and delicious Linguine Marinara!
