• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
• salt and pepper to taste, if desired
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/3 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
• Fresh Parmesan cheese to taste for garnish, finely shredded

Directions:

Cook pasta al dente according package instructions.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large skillet on medium heat; add tomatoes and garlic and cook, while stirring, until tomatoes are soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and pepper flakes.

Drain pasta without rinsing, add to skillet, and toss until pasta is coated and hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper, stir in the basil and cheese and serve garnished with the shredded Parmesan.
