- Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often until soft, about 8 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, reduce heat to low. Break up the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon for a thick and chunky sauce. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta to 2 minutes before al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta cooking water.
