Response
Dish Name: Sunset Pantry Spaghetti
Ingredients (7 total):
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp salt (plus more, to taste)
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and just turning golden.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat, splashing in reserved pasta water as needed for a silky sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt if desired. Serve hot, twirling the spaghetti onto plates for a saucy finish.
