Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 28-ounce can Canned whole tomatoes, with juice
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the canned whole tomatoes along with their juice into the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, and salt. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the chopped basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the sauce. Allow these ingredients to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, which will help meld the flavors.

Step 6

Toss the cooked gluten-free pasta with the tomato sauce, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.

Step 7

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
