Arahan

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and the reserved pasta water. Bring to a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as needed, until the tomatoes burst and the sauce has thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add the pasta, basil and balsamic glaze; stir to combine. Stir in mozzarella. Garnish with basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.
