The Completely Addictive Method of Making Pasta Sauce

Pasta and garlic go together like peanut butter and jelly, and red pepper flakes belong in the mix, too. Even if you don't like things too spicy, the tiniest pinch of crushed red pepper adds so much flavor, and it's a staple you most likely have in your spice cabinet. I like to add anywhere from a small pinch to a heaping 1/4 teaspoon to my sauce to give it an extra kick.
