Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free macaroni pasta
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld.

Step 5

Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked macaroni pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the tomato sauce.

Step 6

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and optional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Gluten-Free Macaroni Pasta with Tomato Sauce!
