How easy is that!
Simple Tomato Sauce
2 28 oz. cans diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Most people doubt this sauce could be good
with such minimal ingredients but become
converts once it's on the plate! Don't scrimp on
the garlic and use a good quality tomato. I like
Muir Glen because they are easy to find and
consistently good.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium
heat. Add the garlic and stir once just to spread
the garlic around. Sauté the garlic briefly; do not
let it brown. Add the tomatoes and simmer 40 to
45 minutes until the chunks of tomato can be
mashed easily.  Remove from heat and use a
potato masher to break up all the tomato clumps.
