Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1 28-ounce can whole peeled Italian plum tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook slowly until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and their juice (do this carefully to keep oil from spattering), red-pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste; raise heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, breaking up tomatoes into small pieces with the side of a wooden spoon.
  • Cook until sauce thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley.
