Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds.
Pour in the canned tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Season with salt to taste. Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Stir in the chopped basil and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
