Spaghetti pomodoro recipe

Sure, here’s a simple spaghetti pomodoro recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz/800g) crushed tomatoes
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish (optional)
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Stir to combine.
4. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has slightly thickened.
5. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add some of the reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly.
7. Serve the spaghetti pomodoro hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
