Ingredients

• 400 grams Gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 800 grams Canned crushed tomatoes (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the sauce and toss until fully coated.

Step 11

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