Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the grain-free orecchiette pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, combining them with the sautéed onions and garlic.
Step 5
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
Step 7
Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked orecchiette pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is fully coated.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pasta before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
