- Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pint (2 cups) of plum tomatoes, halved or quartered if large, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tomatoes soften and release their juices.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
