Preparation
Step 1
Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic in a cold saucepan.
Stir while you heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, saute just 45 seconds or so until everything is fragrant - you don't want the garlic to brown.
Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes.
Remove from heat and carefully take a taste (you don't want to burn your tongue)...If the sauce needs more salt add it now.
Stir in the lemon zest reserving a bit to sprinkle on top of your pasta.
