Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Roughly tear the basil leaves.
- In a large, deep skillet or a wide saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes (including their juices) and tomato paste into the skillet.
- Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Add 4 cups of water, red pepper flakes, and salt to the skillet.
- Stir the mixture until everything is well integrated.
- Bring the tomato mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the gluten-free pasta to the skillet, ensuring that the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add more water as needed to keep the pasta submerged and allow it to cook thoroughly.
- Once the pasta is al dente (tender but still firm), stir in the torn basil leaves.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the basil to wilt and infuse its flavor.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
9. Serve:
- Serve the pasta hot, garnished with extra basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated parmesan if desired.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality gluten-free pasta to ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Fresh basil leaves elevate the dish, but if you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil as a substitute.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Make sure to stir the pasta frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
In conclusion, this one-pan gluten-free tomato basil pasta is a fantastic recipe for anyone looking for a flavorful, easy-to-make meal. The combination of fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes creates a rich and satisfying dish that is sure to become a household favorite. Enjoy this simple yet delicious pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
