1
Drain the canned tomatoes thoroughly and crush them by hand into a large heatproof mixing bowl.
2
Add the extra-virgin olive oil, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the tomatoes, stirring until well combined. Season the mix with salt.
3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add your spaghetti and cook it until al dente, following the instructions on the pasta packaging.
4
Just before the pasta is done, scoop out a half cup of pasta water and slowly add it to your tomato mixture, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce.
5
Once your pasta is ready, drain it and transfer to the mixing bowl with the sauce. Toss well until the strands of spaghetti are evenly coated.
6
Stir in half the toasted breadcrumbs and half of Parmesan cheese, again mixing well.
7
Plate the pasta, making sure to divide it equally. Sprinkle each serving with the remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
8
Serve the spaghetti immediately while still hot and enjoy.
