Ingredients

12 ounces cooked thin spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce ) can crushed tomatoes
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup freshly chopped basil

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. When straining the pasta, reserve ⅓ cup of the pasta water. Set the noodles and water aside separately.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the minced shallots for about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sauté for a minute.
Add the can of crushed tomatoes, reserved pasta water, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 6-8 minutes.
Once the sauce has simmered down and is the desired consistency, add the cooked pasta, parmesan cheese, and basil.
Continue to cook and stir constantly until all the cheese is melted.
Remove the pasta from the pan and serve with additional parmesan cheese and basil before serving.
