Directions

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes; sauté for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to color.

  3. 3

    Add crushed tomatoes to the skillet and simmer for 8–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste and let the sauce meld.

  4. 4
