A delightful homemade spaghetti served with a rich and flavorful marinara sauce, perfect for family dinners or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • 12 oz spaghetti pasta
  • Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add minced garlic, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. If using, add sugar to reduce acidity. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, then drain.
  6. Toss the cooked spaghetti into the warm marinara sauce, mixing gently to ensure every strand is coated. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Use quality tomatoes for the best flavor and taste as you go to adjust seasoning.
