Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
2. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large pan over medium heat. When the garlic is lightly golden (about 2 minutes), add the tomato paste and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. If using, add the crushed red pepper flakes towards the end.
3. Add about 2 ounces of water to loosen the paste, stir, then add the plum tomatoes.
4. Simmer the sauce for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta to 1 minute less than al dente.
5. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, pepper and chili flakes.
6. Remove half the sauce. Add the pasta to the pan and cook for 1 minute over medium-low heat until al dente. Add a little more sauce if needed, and a splash of pasta water to loosen.
7. Tear the basil leaves by hand and add them to the pasta just before serving.
