Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta (vegan)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the vegan fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain 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, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
Let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Toss the drained fettuccine in the skillet with the tomato sauce, making sure the pasta is well coated.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil if using and serve immediately.
