Simple Tomato Sauce

Fast, easy, perfect for every occasion. Fool-proof basic sauce, what in Naples is called “Pummarola”…

One 12 oz. can of peeled tomatoes
Garlic (4 cloves)
Dried red pepper
Ground black pepper
Oregano
Salt

Sautee olive oil with one dried red chile pepper (or 1/2 t. chili pepper flakes) and three-four whole garlic cloves. Heat gently until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and a little oregano. Adjust with salt and black pepper and cook gently for 15 minutes.

    This is the same basic recipe that my wife does. Being Napolitana she sings a lot. One song does have the word “pummarola” in it.
