SAUCES AND DISHES
Tomato Sauce
This classic sauce pairs well with regular or whole-wheat pasta.
Makes about 3 cups; enough sauce for ½ pound of pasta
½ cup olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, smashed with the back of
a knife
1 large can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 leaves fresh basil
1. In a large saucepan, heat garlic and oil over medium-high
heat until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, reduce the heat and cook at a
low simmer until reduced by about one-third, about 15 minutes.
2. When the sauce is reduced, stir in the Parmesan cheese,
salt and basil and cook for 1 additional minute.
3. For best-tasting pasta, add the cooked and drained
pasta to the pan with the sauce and cook for 1 minute.
Serve immediately.
