Pasta Arrabiata is an Italian classic with pasta in a simple tomato sauce with garlic, olive oil and dried chilli. It is typically made with whole peeled tomatoes for maximum flavour. Make a large portion while you're at it and store any leftovers in small containers in the freezer.

6 cloves of garlic
75 ml olive oil
1-2 tsp chilli flakes
3 tins of peeled tomatoes

Pick and chop the basil and stir into the sauce. Season with sugar, salt and pepper.
