PREPARATION FOR SPAGHETTI WITH MARINARA SAUCE

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  1. Sauté the Tomatoes: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
  1. Add Marinara Sauce: Pour the marinara sauce into the pan with the tomatoes. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until heated.
  1. Toss with Spaghetti: Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce—season with salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Serve: Transfer the spaghetti to a serving plate. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

TIPS FOR SPAGHETTI WITH MARINARA SAUCE

  • Extra Flavour: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a slight kick of heat.
  • Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of freshness.
  • Cheese: Use freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese for a richer taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Vegetarian: Toss in some sautéed spinach or mushrooms for added vegetables.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pasta instead of whole wheat spaghetti.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of the pasta may change upon thawing.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a pan over medium heat or microwave until warm.
