Ingredients
- 350 grams gluten-free penne pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 800 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves

- 50 grams parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
Step 4
Add the red chili flakes to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Step 5
Pour the canned crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Tear the basil and parsley leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the sauce. Stir to incorporate.
Step 8
Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss the pasta with the sauce, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
