  • Stir in the Italian-style stewed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a low boil. Be sure to stir frequently. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Using a potato masher or large serving spoon, gently crush all the tomatoes into large pieces. Add in the hot water and stir well. Increase heat and bring the mixture to a boil, about 2 minutes.

  • Once boiling, add in the spaghetti. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to break the spaghetti in half to make it fit.

  • Stir well until the spaghetti is completely covered in sauce and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the spaghetti is nearly softened completely. Mix in the chopped basil and continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the spaghetti has reached your desired texture and the sauce has thickened.
