Cook the pasta (check the recipe). In the meantime, prepare the other ingredients.

Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press or grate it on a grater with small holes. Heat the oil in a pan. After a moment, add the garlic. Fry for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally.

Then add the tomato passata. Simmer on low heat until the passata slightly thickens, for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the drained pasta and season to taste with basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Serve on a plate.
