Place a large pot or frying pan over medium high heat. Add in olive oil and once heated add ½ a pack of spaghetti. Move your pasta around and let it toast. If you have to break your noodles a bit, don’t worry. Toast for 6-8 minutes.
Move your pasta over to one side of the pan. Add in garlic, chilli flakes and basil and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Next add in a bit of pasta sauce (about ⅓ cup) and water. As the sauce reduces, add more pasta sauce and water. Think of it like you cooking a risotto. Let your sauce reduce and caramelise.
Once your pasta is al dente, remove from the pan and garnish with more chilli flakes and shaved parmesan.
Enjoy!
