Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 cup basil
1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 (8 oz) can chopped tomatoes ( unseasoned)
1 (16 oz) box pasta
parmesan cheese
romano cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta as per box instructions.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil with copped garlic.
Add a handful of chopped FRESH basil.
Heat five minutes.
Slowly stir in chopped tomatoes, juice and all.
Add as much crushed red pepper flakes as you like, no more than 1 table.
Cook until tomatoes are soft enough to crush, about 20 minutes on med-low.
Crush tomatoes in pan with fork or potato masher.
Drain pasta and return to cooking pot.
Slowly add sauce and mix together.
It will look like not enough sauce to cover pasta, but this is a lite sauce and not to overpowering.
Add fresh grated parmasiano cheese or fresh romano over individual servings.
