Whether you’re cooking for yourself or impressing guests, this dish is bound to become a favorite. Let’s dive into the ingredients and steps that make this recipe so irresistible.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups cooked pasta (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti work best)
Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta of your choice according to the package directions. Once done, drain and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer the sauce: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, so the pasta absorbs the flavors.
Serve and garnish: Plate the pasta and sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley. Optionally, you can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra richness.
