Preheat the pan
On medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Please don't burn the garlic.

It would be best to be cooking the pasta/spaghetti at this point. This recipe goes quick.

Add the fresh tomato and pepper and flakes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste (if desired) and cook for another minute.
