Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the spaghetti is cooking, dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic to the pan with onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour the tomato sauce into the pan with the onions and garlic. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach the desired consistency.

6. 6

   Chop the basil and add it to the sauce, reserving some for garnish. Stir well and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.

7. 7

   Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot. Pour the marinara sauce over the spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.

8. 8

   Serve the spaghetti with marinara sauce on plates, garnished with the remaining basil. Enjoy your meal!
