Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces soy-free fusilli pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped for garnish fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup (optional) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the fusilli pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, including their juices, and the tomato paste. Mix well.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked fusilli pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
