Preheat a medium sized saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the olive oil to the pan. You will not need to swirl the pan as there will be plenty of oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Step 2
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a chef’s knife and place them into the hot oil. Allow to cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, they don’t need to get color on them.
Step 3
Immediately, add the crushed tomatoes, a couple sprigs of fresh basil and parsley. Then allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the salt. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Remember that the sauce is going on top of an unseasoned item and will need more salt to compensate. Remove the fresh herbs before serving.
