Recipe type: Sauce
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 28.2 ounce can crushed tomatoes (look for cans with BPA-free lining)
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • Kosher salt to taste (I usually use ½ teaspoon)
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the tomatoes, salt, basil, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until thickened.
  3. If you used diced tomatoes instead of crushed, you can process the sauce in a food processor to make it smooth. I usually process it even when I use crushed tomatoes just to make sure it’s completely smooth. This is totally optional and really just indicative of how ridiculous I am.
