This is my signature sauce. The aroma will waft through your house and make everyone anticipate the meal! It's light but REALLY delicious! I have added meatballs or sausage to this recipe, but it's wonderful as is! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
6 garlic cloves (minced) |
2 teaspoons chili flakes |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped) |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Add olive oil, minced garlic cloves, and chili flakes to a cold frying pan.
2. Heat to medium/high. Do NOT brown the garlic!
3. As soon as the aroma of the garlic and chili flakes begins to escape, add the canned tomatoes, salt and 1/2 the basil.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Add water.
6. Lower heat and simmer for at least 1 hour.
7. Reduce sauce by half.
8. When ready to serve, garnish each plate with leftover fresh basil.
9. Serve over your favourite pasta shape.
