1
Heat Olive Oil
In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Sauté Garlic
Add the shaved garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the 28 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine with the garlic and olive oil.
4
Season the Sauce
Add 2 teaspoons of dried Greek oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
5
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
6
Add Fresh Basil
Stir in 1 cup of torn fresh basil leaves into the sauce just before serving for a burst of flavor.
