Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast (optional for cheesy flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 5
Add the cooked fettuccine into the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 6
Stir in the fresh basil leaves and divide the pasta among four serving bowls.
Step 7
Sprinkle nutritional yeast over each serving if using for an optional cheesy taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with more fresh basil if desired.
