Ingredients

• 4 - 5 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan cook garlic and crushed red pepper in hot oil over medium heat for 1 minute. (Do not let garlic brown, which causes it to develop a bitter taste.) Stir in tomatoes and salt. Bring sauce to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
