  1. Boil the Pasta:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  • Add the Italian pasta of your choice and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water, and set aside.
  1. Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
  • In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the finely chopped onion and continue cooking until the onion becomes translucent and soft.
  1. Simmer the Tomato Puree:
  • Pour the entire jar of Tomato Puree into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic.
  • Season with dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  1. Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
  • Add the cooked pasta to the tomato sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the rich tomato goodness.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
  1. Serve:
  • Transfer the Italian-style pasta to serving plates or a large pasta bowl.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of herbal aroma.
