Directions

Step 1

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

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

Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta thoroughly.

Stir in the fresh basil leaves and allow the pasta to heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the pasta hot. If desired, top with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
