Pasta Preparation

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Typically, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Tomato Sauce

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add any spices you prefer, such as basil and oregano, and sauté for a minute. Pour in the tomato sauce, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combining Ingredients

Transfer the cooked pasta into the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Mix well until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and let it melt slightly.

Serving

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with more shredded cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
