Hazelnut Free Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce

Few dishes hit the comfort food sweet spot quite like a bowl of spaghetti in a deeply flavored tomato sauce, and this version is the kind of recipe you'll want in your back pocket forever. The sauce starts with thinly sliced garlic coaxed slowly in olive oil until pale golden and fragrant — that low-and-slow step is what gives the whole thing its savory backbone before the tomatoes even hit the pan. Crushed San Marzano tomatoes simmer down into something rich and glossy, brightened at the end with torn fresh basil and a finishing drizzle of good olive oil. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution anxiety — just clean, straightforward pantry staples doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The trick of tossing the drained pasta directly in the sauce with a splash of starchy cooking water is what makes the whole thing come together, coating every strand instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. A shower of freshly grated Parmesan over the top is optional but honestly hard to skip. This is weeknight cooking at its most satisfying.
