Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the keto-friendly penne and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add red chili flakes to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to combine.
Pour in the crushed canned tomatoes and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked penne to the skillet, tossing well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves.
Serve hot, with optional grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
