Preparation
Step 1
In a 10 or 11 inch saute pan, heat the oil and garlic over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat and then raise the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, and adjusting the heat to maintain a lively but not too vigorous simmer, until the tomatoes have been reduced to a thick, pulpy sauce, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle on the basil, and stir to combine thoroughly.
Suggested pasta:
1 lb dried farfalle
Beyond Pasta:
Spoon over grilled shrimp, scallops, or whitefish, spread on thick slices of grilled bread.
Cheese Option:
5 oz ricotta salata, cut into a 1/4 inch dice (to yield about 1 cup).
