Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and chop the garlic and crumble the ricotta salata.

  2. 2

    Cook the Garlic

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the crushed tomatoes to the saucepan along with the Sicilian oregano and chili flakes. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve warm, topped with crumbled ricotta salata.
