Ingredients:


1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic minced

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 / Directions:


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.
