Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and stir for 10 seconds, then add the cayenne and chilli flakes. Cook for about 1 minute, until the garlic is light golden.
3. Add the crushed tomato, salt and pepper, then rinse the tomato cans with a little water and add that to the pot.
4. Turn the heat up to high and stir. Once it simmers, reduce to medium and simmer for 15 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, taste; if the sauce is sour, add the sugar.
5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to the boil with 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the packet directions.
6. Just before draining, stir the pasta pot well, then scoop out 1 cup of the cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta.
7. Add the pasta to the sauce with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and toss on the stove until well coated. Add more cooking water if needed to loosen the sauce.
8. Divide between bowls and serve immediately, topped with parmesan and parsley if using.
