Delicious Spaghetti Recipe

Spaghetti Recipe

This is one of the cheapest & healthiest spaghetti that I have ever prepared. This spaghetti recipe tastes more like an Italian restaurant meal. 

The best part about the easy spaghetti recipe is that you can prepare it within 10 minutes and can refrigerate the leftovers for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

When ready to serve, just add it to a pot with a splash of water & cook on low heat.

Ingredients

12 oz white or whole wheat spaghetti, uncooked

1 can tomato sauce (15 oz), reduced-sodium

Grated parmesan cheese, to taste

2 teaspoons oregano, dried

5 garlic cloves, large, minced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Ground black pepper, to taste2 ½ teaspoons salt

Directions

1. Fill a large pot approximately ¾ full of cold water; bring it to a boil over moderate heat.

2. Once done; add in the spaghetti & 2 teaspoon salt. During the initial 2 minutes of your cooking; separate the pasta using a pair of tongs and ensure that spaghetti don’t stick to each other. 

3. Cook until al dente, for 5 minutes, uncovered, stirring every now and then. While cooking; don’t forget to taste for doneness and ensure that you don’t overcook. The cooked pasta should still be somewhat firm. Drain well in a colander.

4. Next, over moderate heat in the same pot; heat up the olive oil until hot. Once done; add & cook 4 cloves of garlic with oregano for half a minute, stirring every now and then. 

5. Turn the heat off. Add the drained pasta followed by tomato sauce, leftover clove of garlic, pepper and ½ teaspoon of salt; give the ingredients a gentle stir & continue to cook until warmed.

6. Serve immediately with some Parmesan cheese.
