Ingredients

• 200 grams spaghetti
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 small onion
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 pieces sliced bread
• 50 grams parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the pan. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and granulated sugar. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cooked spaghetti to the tomato sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep the pan on low heat while toasting the bread.

Step 5

Toast the sliced bread until golden brown. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice while it’s still warm.

Step 6

To assemble, place the buttered toast on serving plates. Spoon a generous portion of the spaghetti and sauce over each slice of toast.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting plate of Spaghetti on Toast!
