How to Make Garlic Pasta Sauce
- 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 saucepan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in fresh basil during the last minute of cooking.
- Add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to the sauce to adjust the consistency if needed.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the garlic sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
