Creating Easy Pasta Ponza is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add Tomatoes: Toss in the diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes break down, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
5. Final Touches: Allow the pasta to simmer in the sauce for an additional minute to absorb flavors. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.

These straightforward instructions will guide you in making an incredible meal effortlessly.
