Ingredients
  

  • 2 garlic cloves smashed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 14 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cooked gluten free pasta

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat.
  • Add garlic and saute until golden.
  • Add fresh basil and saute another 2 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce, capers, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes.
  • Toss with cooked gluten free pasta and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

  1. To halt the cooking process and avoid mushy pasta, give that pasta an ice bath! To make an ice water bath, add ice and water to a medium-sized bowl.
  2. I prefer to use Jovial or Tinkyada gluten free pasta brands, but Barilla is also delicious.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
