2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium onion, finely diced
½ teaspoon red chili flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
14 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
salt, to taste
½ lb penne pasta
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion, and cook until the onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.
Add the chile flakes and garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Save ½ cup (120 ml) of pasta water, then drain.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce. Stir well, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Season with salt to taste.
Enjoy!
