Ingredients

• 250 grams gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 50 grams parmesan cheese (or gluten-free cheese of choice)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 liters water

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 2 liters of water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Add them to the saucepan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Drain the cooked spaghetti and transfer it to the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 8

Plate the spaghetti and top with grated parmesan cheese or your preferred gluten-free cheese.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
