Brief Description
Make this sauce with fresh tomatoes only when the juiciest, most flavorful ripe tomatoes are available. (Increase the amount of olive oil a little if you make the sauce with fresh tomatoes.) Otherwise, canned plum tomatoes make a delicious marinara sauce.

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cups - extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 - garlic cloves, peeled
- 35 ounces - can peeled Italian plum tomatoes, seeded and lightly crushed, with their liquid
- - kosher salt
- - peperoncino
- 10 - fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
- - freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Heat the oil in a 2 to 3-quart nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Whack the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, toss them into the oil, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Carefully slide the tomatoes and their liquid into the oil. Bring to a boil, and season lightly with salt and peperoncino. Lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer, and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a whisk or spoon, until the sauce is chunky and thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in the basil about 5 minutes before the sauce is finished. Taste the sauce, and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
