Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce Recipe

Ingredient Preparation

Gather all the necessary ingredients: cooked spaghetti, tomato sauce, olive oil, grated cheese (Parmesan is recommended), minced garlic, and selected herbs (basil or oregano). Ensure you have salt and pepper for seasoning.

Cooking the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until it's fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomato sauce, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and let it simmer until it thickens slightly. For an enhanced flavor, incorporate the herbs into the sauce as it simmers.

Combining Pasta and Sauce

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the tomato sauce over the cooked spaghetti, tossing well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with grated cheese if desired.
