Directions:
- Heat the olive oil and garlic together until golden and fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and basil sprig. Stir well to combine, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Simmer no less than 30 minutes, the longer the better. (I sometimes put in a crock pot and let it cook on low all afternoon).
- Just before serving add the chopped basil, and taste test for acidity level. If it tastes a bit too acidic, you can add the butter to mellow the flavor. Some people add a pinch of sugar to balance it instead.
