quick and easy

Cook the pasta as usual until al dente. In the meantime, finely chop the garlic, add it to a large pot with the olive oil, and sauté over high heat. Deglaze with the canned tomatoes and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, seasoning well with salt. If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon of sugar at this point. Let the sauce reduce for 5 minutes, then add the Parmesan and butter. Stir well to ensure the mixture is evenly combined. Finally, season with pepper and fold the cooked pasta into the sauce. Top each portion with basil leaves and serve with Parmesan. Tip: I use a wok to cook the sauce. It’s nice and big, and it makes it easy to fold in the pasta.
