Speedy Tomato Basil Pasta

How to make it

1. 1

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about a half cup of the pasta water.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, mince the fresh garlic cloves.

3. 3

   In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. 4

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. 5

   Stir in the drained spaghetti and the fresh basil leaves, tearing larger leaves if you like. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious dairy-free meal.
