A little detail makes it lovely.
Use a wide pot and stir frequently. Different pasta brands absorb different amounts of water, so keep hot water nearby.

Let's make it
- 01
Fill the pot
Place spaghetti, crushed tomatoes, water, oil, garlic, salt, and optional red pepper flakes in a wide pot. If necessary, break the spaghetti in half so it fits.
- 02
Bring to a simmer
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, moving the pasta with tongs so it does not stick. Reduce to a steady simmer.
- 03
Stir as it cooks
Cook uncovered for about 12–16 minutes, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente. If the liquid runs low before the pasta is cooked, add hot water a little at a time. If too loose, simmer briefly to reduce.
- 04
Finish with basil
Take off the heat and tear in the basil. Let stand for 2 minutes, toss, and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.
