Savory Tomato Pasta Delight

1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta (200 g) and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta (200 g) water.

2In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion (1 medium) and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3Add the minced garlic (2 cloves) to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4Stir in the chopped tomatoes, dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and sugar (1 teaspoon). Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta (200 g) water to reach your desired consistency.

5Add the cooked pasta (200 g) to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta (200 g) is well coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

6Serve the pasta (200 g) hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
