Classic Italian Pasta Dish
As we think about the scenes of “The Sopranos,” it’s only fitting to indulge in a classic pasta recipe that embodies the tradition and flavor of the Italian-American experience.

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
