- Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in one (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (optional) before serving.
- Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra basil and grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
