Best Tomato Sauce Ever

Simple, Delicious, and Versatile
Course sauce
Cuisine Italian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 796 ml Can Diced Tomaotes
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, Diced Approx. 1 Head of Garlic
  • 8 Leaves Fresh Basil or, 2 Tbsp dried Basil

Instructions

  • Dice ( don't crush ) the Garlic, a few larger chunks are OK. To many small pieces will burn quickly.
  • Heat the Olive Oil in a heavy bottom pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once the Oil is hot add the Garlic, don't walk away because the Garlic will go from brown to burnt quickly.
  • Once the Garlic hits the light brown to medium brown color lower the heat to low add the canned Tomatoes. The Oil will splatter when the Tomatoes go in so try and spread them around.
    Use a wooden spoon to pull the Oil from the outside of the pan back into the middle to incorporate the two.
  • If using dried Basil now is the time to add it, dried herbs need more love to get all the flavor out.
  • Once the Oil and Tomatoes have been incorporated leave on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes or until 50% of the liquid has evaporated.
  • If using fresh Basil add at the end of cooking to maintain the most flavor possible.

Ways to Enjoy

  • Cook some fresh Spaghetti, added the Tomato Sauce straight from the pan, some grated Parma and you'd probably be happy.
  • You could also blend the Tomato Sauce for a Crusty Bread Dip, or a very nice Pizza Sauce.
  • Any way you decide to use this Sauce you will find it simple and easy, Enjoy!
