Making a ## The Method 1. Boil the pasta 8-10 min Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz of your favorite pasta (penne or rigatoni work great). Cook until al dente. 2. Reserve the liquid gold Crucial step Right before draining, scoop out 1 cup of the starchy pasta water and set it aside. This starch is what replaces oil to bind and thicken your sauce later. Drain the pasta. 3. Sauté the aromatics with water 3-4 min Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Instead of oil, add 2 tbsp of water or vegetable broth. Toss in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 finely chopped small onion. Sauté until soft, adding a splash of water if they start to stick. 4. Build the sauce 5-7 min Pour in 1 can (14 oz) of crushed tomatoes or tomato purée. Stir in 1 tsp dried oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer until the tomatoes darken slightly and thicken. 5. Emulsify and toss 2 min Turn the heat to low. Add the drained pasta directly into the sauce. Pour in half a cup of the reserved pasta water and toss vigorously. The starch will marry the tomatoes and pasta into a glossy sauce. Stir in fresh basil leaves right at the end.### Pro-Tips for Zero-Oil Cooking * **Watch the heat:** Without oil, onions and garlic can burn fast. Keep a glass of water nearby and add a tablespoon whenever the pan looks dry. * **Boost the richness:** If you want a creamier sauce without oil, blend half a cup of boiled potatoes, carrots, or soaked cashews into the tomato purée before adding it to the pan.Would you like to try a creamy zero-oil sauce option, like a guilt-free Alfredo or a garlic-herb sauce?
