  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp garlic -- minced

Directions
  1. Preheat broiler. Combine tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt in a large bowl and blend thoroughly. Cover, set aside and marinate for at least 1 hour.

yours has a huge batch of sauce. For normal batch only use 2 cups of cream and 1/2 to one cup of mozz cheese. It's Alfredo sauce!
