Method

Preparation

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
Stir in the pasta and ensure it is submerged in the liquid.
Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the pasta. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month, thawing in the fridge overnight before reheating. Consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
