Tomato pasta

Preparation

1. 1

   Slice the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic for 1 more minute: it burns fast, always add it after the onion.

2. 2

   Add the diced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes covered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce breaks down nicely.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.

4. 4

   Drain the pasta and toss with the tomato sauce off the heat.

5. 5

   Scatter with fresh chopped basil at the very last moment, it loses its aroma with cooking, and serve right away.
