Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 800 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• as needed water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves.

Step 7

Serve the pasta immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your Easy Italian Supper!
