FAST TOMATO SAUCE
"The flavor of the tomatoes, basil and garlic in this quickly made sauce remains fresh and lively because the cooking time is so brief. The recipe comes from Massimo Capra, chef/owner of Mistura restaurant in Toronto. Serve it with gnocchi or other pasta or use it to top crostini."
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely diced
2 pounds (about 10 to 12 large) Roma or other plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and sliced
6 basil leaves (or more to taste), torn
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Add garlic and let it soften without browning for a minute.
Stir tomatoes into oil and garlic. Add basil and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Increase heat and cook briskly 2 to 4 minutes, until tomatoes collapse into a chunky sauce.
Serve immediately over cooked pasta or use to top crostini.
Makes 4 servings
