| Coarse salt; to taste | |

| ¼ cup | Extra-virgin olive oil |
| 3 | Garlic cloves; thinly sliced |
| ½ teaspoon | Crushed red pepper flakes |

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package instructions.
Remove from heat, drain, and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan heat olive oil over medium heat, add garlic, and saute until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add crushed red pepper flakes and tomato sauce, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the cooked pasta and cubed mozzarella to the sauce, tossing until coated and heated through.
Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
