Step 1

Bring a large pot of add water and salt and bring to a boil. Throw in the pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water and then drain.

Step 2

In a saucepan, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. The tomato paste will darken in color from a bright red to reddish brown. This process removes acidity from the tomato paste.
