- 1.   Finely chop the garlic cloves. 
- 2.   Roughly chop the tomatoes. 
- 3.   Heat the olive oil and pasta water at the same time (in separate containers, of course!). 
- 4.   When the oil is hot, sauté the garlic and add the cayenne pepper. You can remove the pepper after 1 or 2 minutes (for sensitive stomachs). Keep the heat high. Then add the tomatoes, salt to taste, and add the parsley and a pinch of sugar in that order. Crush the tomatoes slightly with a wooden spoon. It should not cook for more than 10-15 minutes. 
- 5.   Meanwhile, cook the penne in boiling (salted) water for the necessary time. 
- 6.   Once the pasta is cooked, pour it into the sauce in the cooking container and mix over low heat. 
- 7.   Add a drizzle of oil when serving and some (real) grated Parmesan cheese. Yum-Yum.
