Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 24 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried italian herbs
salt to taste
crushed red pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until softened but not browned. Add the tomatoes, herbs, crushed red pepper (if using), and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over med-high heat.
