- 2 tbspFresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
Cook the penne pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve about 120 ml (1/2 cup) of the pasta water before draining.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked and drained penne to the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Toss well to combine the pasta with the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
