I've got a piece of brisket from a couple nights ago that I want to turn into a nice pasta, what's the best way to go about it?

Or if it's horrible and there's no point what else would you advise

It was slow roasted in tomatoes for 4-5 hours but came out a little tough (still delicious)

#1 tip is long, slow cooking. 3 hours min IMO, but you can get away with 2 hours if you're pressed for time. Since your meat is already cooked then this might sound like overkill but it'll improve the tomato sauce itself so still worth doing.

Must-haves for me:
>sofrito base
>plenty of garlic
>generous amounts oregano + basil
>lots of black pepper
>don't skimp on the salt

For the tomatoes you can use cans of whatever you prefer, or just go with purée + water which is sacrilege for many but works.

Have you thought about how you're going to break down the meat? Fine chop, quick mince in blender, grind?

Whatever you do, don't serve it like pic in OP.

Cook pasta al dente, add to a pan with your preferred amount of sauce and cook on the hob for five or so minutes until it's all nicely integrated.

Putting sauce on top of plain pasta is a cardinal sin.
