Bring large pot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium.
Add basil, pepper flakes and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add vegetable broth and raisins and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking.
