   Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic in a cold saucepan.

2. 2

   Stir while you heat the mixture over medium-high heat, saute just 45 seconds or so until everything is fragrant - you don't want the garlic to brown.

   Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes.

4. 4
