Steps
1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the tomatoes soften and create a sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Mix the cooked pasta into the tomato sauce, ensuring it's well-coated.
5. Transfer the pasta to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle the cheese on top, and place it under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
