- Kosher salt
- Small pinch crushed red pepper

- Drain.
- Meanwhile, put the oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in a medium skillet and set over medium heat.

- Add the crushed tomatoes and their juices, 1/2 cup of water and basil.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium low and simmer gently until the sauce thickens, 10 to 12 minutes.
