Servings: persons

1/3 cup olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt
1 large carrot, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Two 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
2 bay leaves
1 large sprig thyme
1 large sprig basil; plus 1/4 cup leaves, coarsely chopped

1
Put the olive oil and garlic in a medium pot, turn the heat to low and cook the garlic, stirring occasionally at first and more often as it colors, until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
2
Raise the heat to medium-low, add the onions and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the tomato paste and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
5
Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, basil sprig and 1 teaspoon salt, raise the heat to medium and bring the sauce to a lively simmer.
6
Cook, stirring frequently, until quite thick (if you draw a spoon through the sauce, you'll see the bottom of the pot for a few seconds before the sauce fills back in), about 30 minutes.
7
As the sauce thickens, turn the heat down a bit so that the bottom doesn't scorch.
8
Stir in the chopped basil.
9
(The sauce can be cooled to room temperature, then refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
