Start by boiling a large pot of water for the pasta and prepping the ingredients. Mince the garlic and pour the tomatoes into a large bowl and break them apart with your hands.
Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions.
Pour the olive oil into a sauce pan and turn the stove on to medium-low heat. Once the oil is warm add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds then stir in the tomato pasta and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds.
Pour in the tomatoes, salt, and half of the basil. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes then cover and reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Strain the cooked pasta and gently stir it in with the sauce. Add more salt if needed, garnish with the rest of the fresh basil, and enjoy.

If you need to thin the sauce at all add ¼ cup of water at a time until you've reached the desired consistency.

Adjust salt and crushed red pepper as needed.

This pasta can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for up to 4 days.
