Put water on to boil for pasta, and add salt, then dice garlic and chilli

Fry in olive oil until garlic starts to brown, and put the pasta on

If using plum tomatoes, crush in your hands to a paste and add to the garlic and chilli. If using passata, add without any crushing, and simmer while the pasta is cooking

Season with salt and pepper (and chilli flakes) to taste

Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and then add balsamic vinegar

Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately
