In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in the jarred pasta sauce, water, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the dry pasta to the pot and stir to submerge the pasta in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or basil if desired.
