Five Minute Marinara Sauce
recipe from 101 Cookbooks
Yield: approximately 1 quart
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 - 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, the full amount makes a very spicy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
3 medium cloves of garlic, minced or finely chopped
1 28-ounce can crushed red tomatoes (not diced, not pureed, not whole, no additional seasonings at all)
zest of one lemon
Combine
the olive oil, pepper flakes, salt and garlic in a cold saucepan. Stir
while you heat the pan over medium high heat. Saute for 45 seconds to a
minute, just until everything is fragrant. Avoid letting the garlic turn
brown. Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this should
only take a couple minutes.
Remove from the heat and
taste the sauce. If it needs more salt, add it now. Stir in the lemon
zest and taste again. Try not to eat the entire pot of sauce with a
spoon. Enjoy!
