Ingredients
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent (not browned).
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
About 10 minutes before your sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt – the water should taste like the sea!
BEFORE draining, use a measuring cup or ladle to scoop out 1-2 cups of the starchy pasta cooking water. Set it aside.
Drain the pasta (don’t rinse – you want that surface starch!).
Twirl pasta onto plates or shallow bowls using tongs. The twirl creates height and presentation.
