quick pasta with tomatoes, as the housewives prepare it

Place the pan on the heat and add the tomatoes, garlic, and spices. Stir and simmer uncovered over low heat for about 30 minutes. Most of the liquid from the tomatoes should evaporate; sometimes it doesn’t take that long; you can compensate for this with a little water, as the garlic needs to be quite cooked. Cook the pasta al dente and drain. Now add the olive oil and the roughly torn basil leaves to the sauce, stir, adjust the seasoning if necessary, and mix with the cooked pasta. Serve on plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Tip: Tomatoes can sometimes be a bit acidic; this can be counteracted wonderfully with a pinch of sugar.
