Ingredients

• 12 oz gluten-free pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to slightly thicken.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook the sauce for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss well to ensure every piece of pasta is coated with the pink sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and gently mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free pink sauce pasta.
