Ingredients:


1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic -- minced

12 medium plum -- (roma) tomatoes peeled *or*, seeded and chopped

28 ounces plum -- (roma) tomatoes chopped with juices, canned

8 large fresh basil leaves -- coarsely chopped

1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and saut‚ for a few seconds just until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to break down and form a sauce, about 10 minutes. Add the basil, season to taste with salt and pepper and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and is no longer watery, 15-20 minutes. Use immediately, or transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Makes about 2 cups Note* I use 2 cans,like lots of sauce, can keep leftover, if any to use in lots of ways.
