While the pasta is cooking, in a sauté pan over low heat with olive oil, brown the garlic with the crushed chili flakes for about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the canned tomatoes, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the salt, pepper and tear the basil leaves.

Step 5

When the pasta is ready, transfer the pasta directly into the sauce with a little cooking water if needed.

Step 6

Serve with pieces of torn mozzarella, a little more fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

Gemelli

Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavour of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla.
