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.
