• 28 oz can diced tomatoes (with garlic and basil flavoring)
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Coarsely dice the tomatoes as needed. While pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper flakes and crushed garlic. Cook, stirring until aromatic (about 1 or 1-1/2 minutes). Do not let the garlic over-cook or it will taste bitter. Add tomatoes and juice and dried basil.
