Marilyn Monroe’s Favorite Easy Pasta

Ingredients

• pasta (Boil before adding to the sauce; quantity not specified in the source.)
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 5 cloves garlic (Diced)
• 1 medium onion (Diced)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp sugar (Used to balance the acidity)
• fresh basil (For garnish; amount not specified in the source.)

Steps

1. 1

   Boil the pasta. The source does not specify the pasta quantity, water amount, or cooking time, so cook it according to the package directions until done, then drain it.

2. 2

   In a separate pan, sauté the chili flakes and diced garlic together.

3. 3

   After 1 minute, add the diced medium onion to the pan and continue sautéing.

4. 4

   When the onions begin to turn translucent, add the oregano and crushed tomatoes.

5. 5

   Sauté the tomato mixture for another 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the sugar and stir it into the sauce to balance the acidity.

7. 7

   Toss the boiled pasta into the sauce until coated.

8. 8

   Garnish the pasta with fresh basil and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the type or quantity of pasta, the amount of cooking fat for sautéing, or seasoning such as salt. The transcript mentions fresh basil but does not provide an amount; the description specifies the oregano, sugar, and exact sauté timing.
