1

Start by chopping the onion and garlic finely, and set them aside.

2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.

3

Next, add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Chop the tomatoes and add them into the pot. Stir well and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes soften.

5

Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 200 grams of pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

6

Once the tomatoes are soft, season the broth with salt and pepper, then add fresh basil leaves. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

7

Reserve a little cooking water from the pasta before draining it. Mix the drained pasta into the tomato broth, adding a splash of the reserved water if necessary for consistency.

8

Serve hot, garnished with extra basil and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
