📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. Fill a medium-sized pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.

2. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. While the noodles are cooking, mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

4. Drain the cooked noodles and set them aside as well.

5. In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

6. Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

7. Pour 4 cups of tomato juice into the pot and stir to combine with the garlic and oil.

8. Season the tomato juice with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well.

9. Allow the tomato juice to heat up for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.

10. Add the cooked noodles back into the pot and stir to coat them evenly with the tomato sauce.

11. Simmer the noodles in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing them to absorb more flavor.

12. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

13. Divide the noodles and tomato juice into serving bowls.

14. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

15. Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato Juice and Noodles!
