The preparation

4 steps, about 25 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Sauté garlic in olive oil

  2. 02

    Add crushed tomatoes

  3. 03

    Season with basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes

  4. 04

    Simmer until thickened

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Cook the garlic just until it smells sweet and pull back before it browns, since burnt garlic turns the whole sauce bitter. Let it simmer down until it thickens, and stir the fresh basil in near the end so it stays bright instead of cooking away.”
