This one-pot pasta dish packs all the classic elements of a comfort meal—savory, cheesy, and filling—making it an ideal meal for those searching for something special to add to their dinner table.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Add the tomato puree, dried basil, red chili flakes, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low.
