Pasta with a from scratch tomato sauce. Use candy tomatoes, slice in half. Heat in pan at medium high heat.
While heating, add sweet red wine until slightly covering bottom of pan. Add generous oregano, a few pinches of salt, generous black ground pepper, 1 spoonful of pre-minced garlic, 1table spoon of butter.
Use a spatula or potato masher to mash the tomatoes and stir everything together. Use a little milk to thicken the sauce if you want.
While that's going, cook pasta as normal, once ready, strain and dump pasta into the heated pan with sauce. Mix together well and add a few spoons of parmisian cheese if you would like. Otherwise, sprinkle with a little more oregano and serve in a bowl or plate.
If you wanna be fancy, place a single leaf of basil on the top of the pasta lol.
Why would you put basil on top and not... in it...? Basil makes tomato sauces taste awesome.
If you're me, both lol.
Well, not according to this recipe... according to this you don't put basil in it and then you pop a leaf on top for the sake of decoration. Also some corn starch is a great thickener if you want something with less milky.
Oopsie boopsies lol.
