Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling a pot of water, adding salt, and cooking the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Garlic: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes: Toss the diced tomatoes into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
Mix Pasta and Seasoning: Once the tomatoes have softened, add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated with the tomato mixture.
Final Touches: Sprinkle in the fresh basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Give it one last toss to mix everything together, and voilà!
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. The combination of juicy tomatoes, aromatic garlic, and fragrant basil will elevate your pasta game to a whole new level. Simple, quick, and full of flavor!
