Authentic Spaghetti with Homemade Marinara Sauce.
Time: About 10 minutes
Serves: 3-4
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
1 28 oz can European whole peeled tomatoes
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Pinch of red chile flakes
Salt as desired
12 oz spaghetti
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley, plus extra to garnish
Basil leaves
Pinch dried oregano

Method:
Puree tomatoes, feel free to use your hands for a proper "nonna", or grandmother chunky sauce.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat with the garlic and chile flakes. As the garlic begins to turn golden, add the pureed tomatoes.
Lower the temperature, add a pinch of salt and simmer for 5 minutes, set aside while you cook your pasta in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water, until it is al dente. Drain and save some of the cooking water.
Return sauce to the heat, add parsley, basil and a spoonful of the pasta water; cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes while stirring.
Add the drained pasta to your sauce, sprinkle in a pinch of oregano and toss together over the heat.
Plate your pasta and garnish with the extra parsley and basil.
Enjoy-- it's from Europe!
