Ingredients:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. dried basil or oregano
- 4 cups canned tomatoes in juice, crushed (we prefer plum tomatoes)
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. hot red pepper, ground or in flakes
Make it:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat (#3), add the garlic and dried basil. Stir 1 minute just to soften the garlic.
- Add all the other ingredients and warm the sauce over medium heat, for about 5 minutes. It doesn’t need to boil, just have the ingredients get warm together.
- Sauce should be spread to 3/4-inch from the edge of the crust. It should lightly coat the dough so you can still see through it.
