Spicy Tomato Spaghetti

Wow! This tasty Spicy Tomato Spaghetti recipe packs the heat and wakes up your taste buds!

I really like this spicy twist on a traditional tomato spaghetti dish. Due to the heat level, I wouldn't recommend this recipe for kids. If you or your family prefer a milder flavor, reduce the red pepper by half.

Spicy Tomato Spaghetti
Ingredients:
·12 oz. GF spaghetti noodles (I use Tinkyada's Brown Rice Spaghetti)
·Salt
·2 TBS EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
·2 tsp minced garlic
·1 tsp ground red pepper
·1 tsp dried oregano
·1 – 14oz. can diced tomatoes
·Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and spaghetti noodles; cook according to package directions. In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium heat. Add garlic, red pepper, and oregano, and cook for 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes, and crush with the back of a spoon (leave the sauce slightly chunky). Simmer until warm, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce to the pasta, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top.
