By LEP04

Ingredients

• 3 cans of crushed tomatoes (or 4 cans of whole tomatoes put through a food mill)
• crushed garlic to taste
• shallots
• red pepper flakes about 1 shake (be careful you do not want it to spicy)
• salt & pepper
• fresh basil (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Sweat the shallots and then add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Next add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. If using canned tomatoes you can use a immersion blender to make smoother. Simmer for 45 minutes. Add chopped fresh basil.
