There’s no faster, easier way to make a nutritious pasta dish – and, as an extra benefit, the B vitamins in Otamot Tomato Sauce help your body break down the starches and sugars in pasta!

Our delicious basic pasta is a breeze: start cooking your favorite pasta in salted water. While that’s going, cook three sliced cloves of garlic in butter in a saucepan until tender (but don’t brown). Add Otamot Essential Sauce – 1 jar serves four – and a half cup of the pasta water. Season to taste with a little salt and a half cup of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Bring the sauce to a brief simmer, then add the cooked pasta to the saucepan and cook briefly to meld the flavors. For a creamier sauce, try adding two tablespoons of whole butter and stir to combine.

Serve with a generous amount of shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, a touch of cracked black pepper and fresh basil.
