Transcript
Tonight I am making spaghetti with tomato sauce. First, I boil a large pot of water and add some salt. While the pasta cooks, I chop onions and garlic. I heat olive oil in a pan and fry the onions until they are soft. Then I add the garlic and canned tomatoes. I let the sauce simmer for about twenty minutes. When the pasta is ready, I drain it and mix it with the sauce. I like to add fresh basil on top.
