Ingredients:

1 dash black pepper
1/10g
4 garlic cloves
12g
5 tbsp olive oil
70g
1/2 tsp dried basil
0.70g
16 oz pasta
450g
4 tomatoes
250g
1/2 tsp dried oregano
0.90g
1 onion
110g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt for seasoning.
- Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Prepare the Tomato and Garlic Sauce:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.

3. Add Tomatoes and Herbs:
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Adjust to taste if needed.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato and garlic sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
- Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
- Divide the pasta among serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic and Tomato Pasta!

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If tomatoes aren't in season, canned tomatoes can also be used.

- Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot sauce.

- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat in your pasta.

- For added depth of flavor, consider using fresh basil and oregano instead of dried herbs if available.

- Grate some fresh Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta just before serving for an extra delicious touch.

Enjoy your Garlic and Tomato Pasta with Herbs! This delightful and flavorful dish is sure to impress. Whether you're preparing it for family or friends, this recipe is a surefire way to bring smiles to the table.
