Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt

3 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 28-oz can crushed red tomatoes (plain)

zest of one lemon

Directions

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.
