Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile in a large wide saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté a couple of minutes. Then add garlic and sauté a minute or so. Add tomatoes and salt. Stir occasionally just until tomatoes start to break down, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions. Once tomatoes have broken down, stir in red peppers, olives and chili flakes. Drain pasta reserving about ¼ cup (50 mL) pasta water. Stir pasta into sauce along with goat cheese, basil and 2 tbsp (25 mL) pasta water to make a creamier sauce.
