Combine the pasta, tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, oil and water in a large heavy bottomed pan or pot (large enough to fit the pasta in without breaking).
Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, stirring and flipping pasta with tongs until pasta is al dente and cooked through and water as nearly evaporated, about 8-9 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Enjoy hot with fresh burrata, basil, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
*If your pasta is too dry without it cooking all the way through, add in the extra ½ cup of water during the cooking time.
