8 steps

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the canned tomatoes, crushing them with a spatula, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, stirring, until half-cooked.
Pour in the cream, add the parmesan and most of the basil, and stir.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the top with grated mozzarella.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Before serving, sprinkle with the remaining fresh basil.
