1

Start by boiling a large pot of water. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt and the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it brown.

4

Pour in the canned tomatoes, stir well, and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally; it should thicken slightly.

5

Add fresh basil leaves, salt, and pepper to the sauce, adjusting to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6

Once the pasta is done, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

7

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
