Turn the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer the sauce for about 10 to 15 minutes, until all the flavors from the garlic get into the sauce. Finally stir in the fresh basil leaves, turn off the heat. Cover the pan and keep the sauce aside.While the sauce was simmering, bring water to boil in a large sauce pan. Season the water with some salt, add in the Spaghetti and cook stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes until the pasta is tender.Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain pasta and keep it aside.Now to finish making the recipe we have to combine the cooked Spaghetti along with the Pomodoro sauce.To do this, add the pasta into the tomato basil pasta sauce and give it a good boil for about 3 to 4 minutes.  Once you notice the Spaghetti is well coated with the sauce, the dish is ready to be served.Spoon the Spaghetti Pomodoro into individual serving bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and serve warm for a weeknight or party dinner. Serve Spaghetti Pomodoro Recipe (Pasta in Tomato Basil Sauce) along with Fresh Garden Salad Recipe.
