Start by boiling a pot of water and cooking the pasta of your choice according to package instructions.
Prep all ingredients according to the ingredient list. Heat olive oil in a large pan over low heat and add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper. Heat garlic for about one minute or until fragrant, be careful not to allow the garlic to brown.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and the reserve pasta water. Cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. If the sauce gets too thick, add 1 tablespoon of reserve pasta water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it's well coated/mixed and add the fresh basil.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
