1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli 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 minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red chili flakes to the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds.
Pour in the canned tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked fusilli pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired.
