Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring the water to a rapid boil!

[Release the pasta in a ring!] Cook the pasta over medium heat. Make sure not to burn the pasta with the edge of the pot.

[Point 2] Cook the pasta about 2 minutes shorter than the directions on the box say! I'll tell you why later! The water should be steadily bubbling.

[The basics of homemade pasta] Add the pure olive oil to a skillet and turn on the heat! Sauté the garlic until fragrant over low to medium heat!

[Canned tomatoes] Add it all in!

Simmer the sauce until it bubbles and looks like this. Taste it and adjust the taste with salt and pepper.

Use a pair of tongs to scoop the pasta instead of straining it in a colander, so the pasta water will also be added to the sauce!

Tongs are convenient for this. The heat is still on. Keep the heat to low or medium heat!

[Point 3] While adding a small amount of the cooking liquid at a time, cook the pasta al dente in the skillet! This is the answer to the reason for tip 2!

Simmer until the liquid is reduced and the pasta is cooked al dente. Turn off the heat and drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil...
