Marinara Sauce (Tomato Sauce)

Ingredients:

3 tablespoon olive oil
8 garlic cloves, peeled
4 - 5 can peeled tomatoes, seeded and lightly crushed
Salt & pepper

1 teaspoon of sugar
Red chilli flakes (peperoncino)
1 tablespoon basil leaves dried (If using fresh 3 tables spoon chopped)

Method of Preparation:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, toss them into the oil, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. 
• Carefully slide the tomatoes and their liquid into the oil. Bring to a boil, and season lightly with salt and red chilli flakes. Add sugar. 
• Lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer, and cook, until the sauce is chunky and thick, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the basil about 5 minutes before the sauce is finished. Taste the sauce, and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
