Ingredients:
- 3 TBSP olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 – 1 tsp. crushed red pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp. oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. sugar, add more to taste
- 3 1/2 c. water
- 16 oz. penne
- 1/4 c. chopped fresh basil
- Burrata
- Grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
Directions:
- Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes; then add the crushed red pepper and oregano or Italian seasoning. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and sugar. Bring to gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Stir in water and penne, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to vigorous simmer. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring often, until pasta is nearly al dente, about 8 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, tossing gently, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened, 4 to 7 minutes; if sauce becomes too thick, add extra water as needed. Off heat, stir in basil and season with salt and pepper to taste and top with burrata.
- Top individual portions with Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese.
