For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. The quality of the tomatoes is crucial for this dish. Use the freshest, ripest tomatoes you can find. Adjust the amount of garlic and basil to your personal preference. Some may prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, while others may enjoy a stronger basil aroma. The resting time is essential for the flavors to develop. Don't rush this step! Serve immediately after tossing the pasta with the sauce to prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
