  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add linguine, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • For a milder spice, reduce the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Ensure your skillet is large enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably.
  • You can substitute other types of pasta, but cooking times may vary.
  • Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
