Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the penne evenly with the sauce.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
