How to Make 2 Step Pasta Sensation
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves (optional).
