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)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and stir well.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Once the sauce has simmered, stir in the chopped fresh basil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
