Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb whole wheat penne
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 (28 oz) can plum tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, 8-10 minutes or according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat.
Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, crushing them roughly with the back of a wooden spoon.
Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
When the pasta is ready, drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the sauce and place the pot over high heat.
Stir until the mixture sizzles; remove from the heat.
Add the cheese and parsley; toss well.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste; serve immediately.
