Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water, and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, minced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Add the fresh tomato sauce to the pan and stir well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the cooked penne to the tomato sauce in the pan, along with the reserved pasta water. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Season the pasta with salt and black pepper. Toss in the fresh basil leaves, tearing them slightly as you add them. Mix everything together gently.

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the pasta to serving plates. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
