Yield

Serves: 4 servings

Preparation

When the pepper snaps and the garlic sizzles, add the tomato paste, cook for a minute, then stir in the crushed tomatoes. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for five minutes and stir in parsley.

Add EVOO to a medium-size saucepan over moderate heat. Add the garlic and crushed pepper to the heated olive oil.
