After the water in the saucepan boils, add the pasta to the boiling water. The sauce should have been cooking for about 5 minutes.
When the pasta is done, drain and add the pasta to the tomato sauce.

Divide the pasta between two bowls, top with the remaining parmesan, and sprinkle the basil over it all.
Serve.

Recipe Notes
Great sauces don’t have to take hours and hours simmering on the stove. Many terrific pasta sauces can be made in about 20 minutes, which is about the same amount of time that it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta. A dish like Fettuccine Alfredo, for example, might seem elegant and complicated, but it takes only 20 minutes or so to put together.
This Penne Arrabbiata is a great example. It is amazingly quick and easy to make, and many of the ingredients are ones that you can easily keep on hand: onions, garlic, parmesan, canned tomatoes, pasta, spices.
