Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.
Stir in the fresh or dried basil, then toss with the drained pasta to combine.
