How to get red sauce Pasta?

Sure, here's a step-by-step guide on how to make delicious red sauce pasta:

**Ingredients:**

1. 250 grams of pasta (penne, spaghetti, or any other type you prefer)

2. 2 tablespoons of olive oil

3. 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

4. 1 small onion, finely chopped

5. 1 can (400 grams) of diced tomatoes or 4-5 ripe tomatoes, chopped

6. 1 teaspoon of dried oregano

7. 1 teaspoon of dried basil

8. 1 teaspoon of sugar

9. Salt and pepper to taste

10. Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

11. Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. **Boil the Pasta:**

   - Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.

   - Once the water is boiling, add a generous pinch of salt.

   - Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

   - Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and set it aside.

2. **Prepare the Red Sauce:**

   - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

   - Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

   - Add chopped onions to the skillet and cook until they become translucent, stirring occasionally.

   - Add diced tomatoes or fresh chopped tomatoes to the skillet along with their juices. If you're using fresh tomatoes, cook until they break down and become saucy.

   - Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

   - Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

3. **Combine Pasta and Sauce:**

   - Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked pasta to the skillet.

   - Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is evenly coated.

   - If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.

   - Cook the pasta in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.

4. **Serve:**

   - Once the pasta is heated through and well coated with the sauce, remove the skillet from the heat.

   - Transfer the red sauce pasta to serving plates or bowls.

   - Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired.

   - Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade red sauce pasta!
