Instructions

1 In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil until it shimmers. Add the
garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is
fragrant but don’t let it brown.
2 Add in the crushed red pepper, and stir. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir
well to combine. Increase to medium-high and bring to a rolling simmer, then
reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
3 In the meantime, cook your pasta. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a
rolling boil over high heat. Once at a boil, stir in the pasta and cook until al
dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1 and 1/2 cups of the pasta water, then drain the
pasta well and use as directed below.
4 Mix the fresh herbs, salt, and pepper into the tomato sauce and stir well to
combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
5 Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to coat the noodles. Slowly drizzle
in 1 cup of the reserved pasta water, mixing as you add it, and letting it fully
absorb before adding more. Add more water, if desired. Reduce heat to low and
let pasta cook in the sauce for 2 minutes.
6 Remove from heat and divide the pasta among shallow pasta bowls. Serve with
cheese, wine, bread, and extra crushed red pepper flakes if you dare, eat at
once!
