Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While you are waiting, prepare the sauce.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and salt and continue to cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the pasta "al dente" according to the package directions. If you are using our sourdough pasta recipe, cook for 4-5 minutes or until desired firmness. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet.

Step 4

Toss the pasta in the sauce along with the parmesan cheese, chopped basil, and cracked red pepper flakes. Add pasta water while stirring, a few tablespoons at a time, until you achieve the desired sauce consistency. Season to taste and serve immediately.
