Directions

Step 1

Heat oil in large pot over low heat. Add in garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Increase heat to medium and add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 2 sprigs of basil, and salt. Stir to coat, until tomatoes begin to burst, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Smash about half the tomatoes to help thicken the sauce and cook for 10 minutes more. Remove the basil sprigs.

Step 4

Add noodles to sauce. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, making sure noodles are coated.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup cheese.

Step 6

Serve pasta among bowls, top with remaining Parmigiano and basil leaves, removing from the sprigs.
