Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm oil and saute garlic, heat through until the garlic turns translucent, not brown. Add onion and cook over low heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Add parsley, basil and ground black pepper, stir. Add tomatoes and cover, raise heat to medium and bring to a strong simmer. Lower heat and add red pepper flakes. Cover saucepan and cook for 25 to 35 minutes.

  3. The sauce can be run in the food processor for 2 to 3 seconds to achieve a more uniform sauce or let the sauce cook over medium-low heat uncovered for 10 minutes or until it thickens.

  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until al dente, drain and serve with sauce.

Recipe Note

Plain, simple, no frills, basic red sauce that tastes great on a variety of pasta and is not watered down. For making a good sauce, use canned tomatoes. Except for the summer months, the 'fresh' tomatoes are usually harvested when green and left a long time to ripen. Add more red pepper flakes if you like your sauce spicy!
