Let’s make it

  1. Put the kettle on

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice the garlic and gather the sauce ingredients.

  2. Start the sauce

    Warm olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and chili flakes and stir for 2 minutes until fragrant, without browning.

  3. Simmer and twirl

    Add tomatoes to the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in the boiling water according to its package, usually 10–12 minutes. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.

  4. Bring it all together

    Toss spaghetti into the sauce for 3 minutes, loosening with a little reserved water. Tear in basil, season to taste and serve.
