From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 2 cups
 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
12 medium plum (roma) tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
28 ounces plum (roma) tomatoes chopped with juices, canned
8 large fresh basil leaves -- coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
 

Preparation:

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and sauteā€š for a few seconds just until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to break down and form a sauce, about 10 minutes. Add the basil, season to taste with salt and pepper and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and is no longer watery, 15-20 minutes. Use immediately, or transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
