Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Finely mince the garlic cloves.
~2 min - 3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Crumble in the 'nduja sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until it breaks down and the fat renders, about 3-4 minutes.
~4 min - 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

~10 min - 8
