Skillet Baked Ziti

I believe that this is an America's Test Kitchen Recipe. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, she prepared this dish for her sisters baby shower and it was a hit!

1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 cups water
12 ounces of ziti or penne (3 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees.
2. Combine oil, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch oven safe nonstick skillet and saute' over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, water, pasta, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to maintain vigorous simmer, until pasta is almost tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
3. Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over pasta. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browns, about 10 minutes. Serve.
