Simple, Fast And Flavorful Tomato Sauce For Everyday Cooking

1. 1

   ["I love making tomato sauce on a busy day -- it can be ready just as fast as the pasta with great results. Take about a teaspoon of red chili pepper flakes and heat them on high in a frying pan. Once fragrant, add olive oil. When sizzling, add one can of San Marzano whole tomatoes (with basil if possible, my favorite is La Strianese). Turn to med/low and add 1 ts each of dry basil, marjoram, oregano, 2 Tbs of tomato paste, wine to taste, salt and cracked pepper. Break up the tomatoes as you stir. The sauce will be done at about the same time as the pasta. Adding fresh basil is a nice touch. Serve with pasta, add a lot of freshly grated parmesan on top.

   Note: you can try other tomatoes, but using San Marzano does make a difference.", "Serve with pasta and a heaping serving of freshly grated parmesan. And, of course, a glass of wine."]
