Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli/chilli flakes. After about a minute, add the basil leaves and gently wilt them in the flavoured oil, roughly 1 minute.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes with a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Simmer for 4-5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Then, pour in the beans and mix well to combine. Simmer for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add the parmesan and plenty of black pepper.
Serve with extra parmesan, scatter over some fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
