Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the macaroni.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it's translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the diced tomatoes, chilli flakes, chilli powder, salt, and vinegar to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4
Add the cooked macaroni to the tomato sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
5
Serve the spicy macaroni hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.
