For a richer flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Other pasta shapes like fusilli or rotini work wonderfully in this recipe.
If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted, but fresh is highly recommended.
For a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of ricotta cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end.
