Ingredients

 * 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (3 times around the pan)
 * 3 cloves garlic, minced
 * 2 cans (2 x 8 oz each) crushed tomatoes, or diced in juice, if you like chunky tomato sauce
 * 20 leaves fresh basil, roughly cut or torn

Directions

 * 1) Heat olive oil and garlic in a deep pan over medium heat.
 * 2) When the garlic squeaks, add tomatoes and heat through.
 * 3) Stir in basil leaves and reduce heat to low.
 * 4) Simmer until pasta of choice is cooked until al dente.
 * 5) This is enough sauce for up to 1½ pounds pasta.
 * 6) To sweeten any tomato sauce, add ½ a minced onion with the garlic and let it soften and sweeten over medium low heat for 10 minutes before adding to tomato products.
