Easy CAPELLINI PASTA POMODORO - OLIVE GARDEN COPYCAT | Recipes.net

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat then add garlic and carrots. Saute until just starting to caramelize, roughly 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the canned tomatoes and basil leaves and stems.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue simmering for roughly 30 minutes, stirring constantly, until it has reduced by half and thickened.

Towards the last 10 minutes of simmering, add the cherry tomatoes and stir to combine.

Once the sauce has thickened, strain the garlic and basil then discard.

Add the pasta and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust accordingly.

Serve at once. Garnish with basil leaves and the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
