Ingredients

• 150 g linguine pasta
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 400 g canned diced tomatoes (no added salt)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 5

Lower the heat to a simmer and let the marinara sauce cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the marinara sauce and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 8

Divide the pasta between two serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and delicious Linguine Marinara!
