Directions
-
Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta of your choice according to the package instructions. Be sure to add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for flavor. Once al dente, drain the pasta and set it aside, allowing it to rest while you prepare the sauce.
-
Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. As the oil warms up, add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about one minute, stirring frequently until it becomes fragrant. This tremendous aroma will surely awaken your senses.
-
Add the Tomatoes: Now it’s time to bring some life to the pan. Add the diced tomatoes, letting them mingle with the garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing them to break down and become beautiful, juicy mush.
-
