Skillet Baked Ziti

1 Tbs olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Salt
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
3 c water
3 ¾ c ziti pasta
½ cup heavy cream
½ grated parmesan cheese
¼ c minced fresh basil
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 475

Combine oil, garlic, red pepper and ½ tsp salt in 12” oven safe nonstick skillet and sauté over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, water, ziti and ½ tsp salt. Cover and cook stirring often and adjust heat as needed to maintain vigorous simmer, until ziti is almost tender: about 15-18 minutes

Stir in cream, parmesan and basil. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ziti. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve
