Boil the penne in salted water for 10 minutes until al dente.
Slice the garlic and chop the parsley.
Warm the olive oil, garlic, and pepper flakes for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the grated tomatoes, salt, and black pepper and reduce for 10 minutes.
Reserve half a cup of the pasta cooking water.
Add the penne to the sauce, loosen with pasta water if needed, and toss for 2 minutes.
Finish with parsley and parmesan.
💡 Tip: Do not brown the garlic; a light golden color is enough for a clean sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with parsley, grated parmesan, and optional arugula salad.
