Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free pasta (penne, spaghetti, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the gluten-free pasta to the boiling water and cook it according to the package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and stir well.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has simmered, stir in the chopped fresh basil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
