Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Gather and prep all ingredients. Finely chop garlic, onions, and any fresh herbs required for the recipe.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 3
In a separate pan, melt butter or heat oil. Sauté the aromatics, then stir in your base sauce ingredients. Let simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes to let flavors meld.
Step 4
Toss the cooked, drained pasta directly into the sauce. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to emulsify the sauce, tossing over low heat for 2 minutes until glossy.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh herbs (like basil, parsley, or cilantro) and a sprinkle of grated cheese or sea salt. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
