A quick, punchy Italian-style pasta where Nitra's tangy tomato sauce carries the whole dish with garlic and chilli.
Method
- 1
Cook the pasta
Cook the pasta in well-salted boiling water until al dente, according to the package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
- 2
Sauté the garlic and chilli
Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and chilli flakes for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- 3
Add the tomato sauce
Pour in the tangy tomato sauce and simmer 5–6 minutes to heat through and slightly reduce.

Combine
Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat, and loosen with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.

Finish
Season with salt, scatter over fresh basil, and serve immediately.
Sauté the garlic gently and briefly — burnt garlic will make the whole sauce taste bitter.
