400g of pasta
Spaghetti penne or any pasta of your choice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 small onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
800g of canned crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
A handful of fresh basil leaves chopped
Optional
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Optional
Start by boiling your pasta in a large pot of salted water
According to the package's instructions until it reaches al dente perfection
While that's cooking away grab a skillet and heat up some olive oil over a medium flame
Toss in your finely chopped onion and give it a stir until it becomes soft which should take about 5 minutes
Follow that up with the minced garlic letting it cook for another minute to unleash its aroma
Next up pour in your crushed tomatoes seasoning the mixture with a bit of salt and pepper to taste
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for around 20 minutes giving those flavors time to really come together
If you notice your sauce getting a bit too thick don't hesitate to thin it out with a splash of the pasta water you smartly reserved earlier
