Time 50m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed and peeled (I used 4)
4 1/2 cups peeled and seeded fresh tomatoes or 4 1/2 cups canned and drained Italian plum tomatoes, finely chopped or whirled in a processor or blender (I used regular tomatoes)
salt and pepper
1 medium onion, chopped,sauted
2 tablespoons fresh basil (or other herb I used italian seasoning here)

Steps:

Heat the oil and minced or crushed garlic gently in a small saucepan until the garlic is golden.
If desired, discard the garlic.
Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook gently for 30 minutes or until the juices are reduced and the oil separates from tomatoes.
The sauce should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
Stir in the basil or other herbs and stir over heat 5 minutes.
