In a medium bowl, combine tilapia, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, until the garlic begins to soften.

Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil, and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
When the spaghetti is almost done, add the tilapia to the pan with the tomato sauce and cook for 3 minutes, stirring gently, until cooked through.

Add the parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup basil, season with salt. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Divide the spaghetti among plates and sprinkle with basil.
