Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
