Pasta con Salsa di Pomodoro (Pasta with Tomato Sauce)

This is a very simple pasta recipe that my family and I really enjoy. There are few ingredients and any (whether you are a great cook or a so, so one) one can make! So, here goes!

Ingredients:
2 bags of Pasta (whole wheat or brown rice)
Tomato sauce (fresh or store bought)
Sugar or baking soda (to counteract the acidity of the tomato sauce)
Garlic or onions (my mom uses garlic but my dad prefers onions. It all depends on your tastes)
Basil (or whichever seasonings you prefer)

Preparation:

Bring water to a boil in a medium sized pot (do not forget to salt your water). Once the water has begun to boil, add your pasta (with brown rice pasta you will have to stir more frequently because this type of pasta does tend to clump). While your pasta is cooking, prepare your pasta sauce. Once your pasta is "al dente" you can drain it and add your tomato sauce. Garnish with cheese (if you wish) and enjoy!
