| ¼ | cup extra virgin olive oil |
| 1½ | teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes |
| ½ | teaspoon fine grain sea salt |
| 3 | medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped |
| 1 | 28-ounce can crushed red tomatoes |
| zest of one lemon |
Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic in a cold saucepan. Stir while you heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, saute just 45 seconds or so until everything is fragrant – you don’t want the garlic to brown. Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes. Remove from heat and carefully take a taste (you don’t want to burn your tongue)...If the sauce needs more salt add it now. Stir in the lemon zest reserving a bit to sprinkle on top of your pasta.
