Italian Pasta Recipe
There’s something magical about a pasta dish that tastes just like an Italian mom used to make—simple ingredients, soulful flavors, and heart-warming comfort in every bite.
To recreate this classic dish, start by choosing good-quality pasta; spaghetti or penne works perfectly. In a pan, warm olive oil and sauté plenty of garlic until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, and a handful of fresh basil. Let the sauce simmer gently so the flavors deepen, just like traditional Italian kitchens.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, then toss it directly into the simmering sauce, allowing it to soak up every bit of flavor. Add a splash of pasta water for silkiness and finish with grated Parmesan or Pecorino.
For extra authenticity, drizzle a little more olive oil before serving. It’s simple, comforting, and incredibly delicious—exactly how an Italian mom would make it.
