How to Make Three Tomato Pasta

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken slightly.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook 1 pound of penne pasta according to package directions.
  7. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or more, to taste), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (optional).
  10. Mix gently to combine and serve immediately.
