| 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. |
