-
Add tomato sauce on top of your spaghetti. Cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat until everything is combined ,stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat,garnish with chopped basil and serve immediately.
*You can pair it with a glass of red wine. (Because tomato-based pasta dishes are acidic, it's best to pair them with a medium-bodied red wine, as a wine that doesn't match the acidity of the sauce will taste bland. A cabernet sauvignon or Zinfandel is a good example of a red wine that goes well with tomato-based pasta dishes.)
Bon Appetit!
