- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve over pasta, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or fewer red pepper flakes, depending on your taste.
- This sauce also works great as a base for pizza or as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend it with an immersion blender after simmering.
