Found this on a recipe blog a while ago, and it's still one of my favorites! A quick and simple basic tomato sauce. Any leftover sauce keeps well in the fridge for three or four days.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes shopping list
- 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt shopping list
- 3 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 28-oz can crushed red tomatoes (plain) shopping list
- zest of one lemon shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic in a cold saucepan.
- Stir while you heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, saute just 45 seconds or so until everything is fragrant - you don't want the garlic to brown.
- Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully take a taste (you don't want to burn your tongue)...If the sauce needs more salt add it now.
- Stir in the lemon zest reserving a bit to sprinkle on top of your pasta.
- Makes about a quart of tomato sauce.
