SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
The simplest of tomato sauces, this quick-cooking marinara is fresh-tasting and bright. It freezes well if you want to double up on the quantities, though you might have to cook it a bit longer to make up for the extra volume. In the accompanying picture, it's used in a recipe for cauliflower Parmesan.

Steps:
- In a large, straight-sided skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add garlic and cook until just lightly golden. Add chile flakes if desired and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomatoes and juices, basil or bay leaf, and salt and pepper.
- Bring sauce to a simmer and cook until sauce is thick and tomatoes have mostly fallen apart, about 30 to 40 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to keep at a steady simmer. If using whole plum tomatoes, mash them up with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to help them break down. Remove sauce from heat and discard basil or bay leaf.
