Instructions
Open the can of tomatoes and pour into a bowl. Break up the tomatoes with your hands.
Put 1 cup of water in the empty can and slosh it around to get the tomato juices.
In a large skillet, heat on medium and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic. Once the garlic is sizzling, not browned, add the tomatoes and the water from the can.
Add the pepper flakes and salt, then float the whole basil sprig on top.
Let it wilt in and simmer the sauce until it is thickened and the oil on the surface is orange. This takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the wilted basil.
Immediately add the cooked pasta to the sauce, blend together and serve.
