While baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta

In a separate pan, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining garlic, half the basil and the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes and garlic so each are in pieces.

Add the red pepper flakes to the pan

At the same time, cook your pasta in boiling water

Before the pasta is all the way cooked, take out a cup of pasta water and set aside for the sauce pan
-
Drain the pasta before it's all the way cooked and add to the sauce pan with the tomato mixture

Then add the pasta water until you get the sauce consistency you desire

Cook 2-3 more minutes

Divide the pasta among four plates, season with the remaining basil and add fresh mozzarella to the top
