Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

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

  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

  4. Season the marinara sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.

  5. If desired, add a tablespoon of sugar to the sauce to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Simmer the sauce for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  6. While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Remember to reserve some pasta water before draining.

  7. Once the marinara sauce has thickened slightly and is well-seasoned, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  8. Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan with the marinara sauce. Toss the pasta gently to coat it evenly with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of reserved pasta water to thin it out.

  9. Serve the Pasta And Co Marinara in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
