Instructions

In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add chopped garlic and sauté over medium heat until golden, 1-2 minutes.
Add chopped peppers. (If using red pepper flakes, start with ½ tsp and add the additional ½ tsp as the sauce simmers, if you prefer a spicier sauce.) Sauté until the peppers are fragrant, 1 min.
Add diced tomatoes and salt. Mix well and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
While the sauce is thickening, bring a 1.5-2 quarts of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add pasta and simmer, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente, 7-9 min. Drain pasta when done.
When sauce has thickened, add cooked, drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve topped with fresh parsley.
