  • stock pot

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 large garlic cloves, thinly slices
  • 3 1/2 lbs ripe tomatoes (any kind wil do), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup water, plus more if needed
  • 9 oz fresh linguine, angel hair, or fettuccine

Instructions

  • In a large pot heat olive oil over a medium-low heat. Add garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, basil, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes. Uncover and cook another 10-15 minutes until tomatoes are cooked down and sauce-like. Season tomatoes to taste with salt and more sugar if needed.
  • Add water, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add pasta and gently toss making sure to not break the noodles. Cover and cook another 2-3 minutes until the pasta has soaked up the water.
