How to Make 2 Step Pasta Sensation

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves (optional).
