   Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce and Sriracha; bring to simmer. Stir in water until smooth and incorporated.

3. 3

   Stir in pasta and cook on medium heat, stirring often, until sauce has thickened and pasta is al dente, 16 to 18 minutes.
