Ingredients

1 can peeled plum tomatoes OR 8 fresh plum tomatoes

2 cloves pressed garlic

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons capers

2 tablespoons chopped olives

Salt and pepper

Red pepper flakes

Directions

If you are using fresh tomatoes, first core them, score the bottom with an 'x', then drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds to the skins. Peel them.

To make a thicker, less bitter sauce, I'd encourage you to slice the tomatoes (canned or fresh) in half and scoop out the seeds and liquid at this point. Break the tomatoes up into smaller pieces with a fork or knife.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden.

Add the tomatoes, capers, olives, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 10 minutes.

Spoon over your favorite pasta!
