FYI- tomato sauce with just olive oil and lots of hot red pepper flakes exists under a variety of names, one of the monst famous is this one which when translated means "angry".

Place fresh or canned tomatoes with the oil in a medium-sized saucepan over meduim heat and cook for 25 minutes, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon. season to taste with salt and pepper. Pass the mixture through a food mill, using the idsc with the smallest holes, into a second saucepan.

Return the tomatoes to medium heat, add the red pepper flakes, and simmer for 15 miutes more. Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil, add coarse salt to taste, then add the pasta and cook until al dente. coarsely chop the parsely on a board. Drain the pasta , transfer to a warmed platter, out the suace over, and serve immediately. for a variation you can use 15 large fresh basil leaves, torn into thirds, instead of parsley.
