Lyrics
400g of pasta (spaghetti, penne, or any pasta of your choice)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
800g of canned crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
A handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Start by boiling your pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package's instructions until it reaches al dente perfection. While that's cooking away, grab a skillet and heat up some olive oil over a medium flame. Toss in your finely chopped onion and give it a stir until it becomes soft, which should take about 5 minutes. Follow that up with the minced garlic, letting it cook for another minute to unleash its aroma. Next up, pour in your crushed tomatoes, seasoning the mixture with a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for around 20 minutes, giving those flavors time to really come together. If you notice your sauce getting a bit too thick, don't hesitate to thin it out with a splash of the pasta water you smartly reserved earlier.
