Ingredients
- 300 g Spaghetti
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic grated or crushed
- ½-1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes or to taste, see Note 1
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes or passata if you prefer a smoother sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil chopped (plus extra for garnish – optional)
- grated parmesan optional
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions / your own preferences. When cooked to your liking, drain reserving a little of the pasta water.
- Meanwhile, place the olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes in a medium frying pan. Put on a low heat and fry for 1 minute. Stir occasionally. Do not let the garlic burn!
- Next, add the chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper. Turn the heat up and bring to the boil, then turn right down and cook for 10 minutes over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Tip the drained pasta into the sauce along with a couple of tablespoons of pasta cooking water and the 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley or basil. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Serve sprinkled with the cheese and extra parsley/basil.

Notes
- How much chilli you use is a very personal thing, depending on how hot like your food, and also which brand you use makes a difference. Personally I find ½ Schwartz chilli flakes to be enough to give this dish a good ‘kick’ without the chilli overpowering everything else, but if you like your food hot, I recommend using more. You can also use fresh chilli if you prefer.
- Suitable for freezing (sauce only).
