Rustic Pasta
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining. Set the cooked pasta aside.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove any excess grease from the skillet, leaving just enough to sauté the onions.
-
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss everything together gently, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
-
Serve the Rustic Pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and freshness.
