Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Pasta (any shape)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 28 ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil chopped (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Butter

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large skillet
  • Colander

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using); cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Add drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
  5. Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese and butter. The heat will melt the butter, creating a creamy sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil (if using) and serve immediately.
