DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a nonreactive saucepan or skillet.
- Put the garlic in the pan, taking care not to let it brown, and cook until the garlic is soft.
- Stir in paprika or hot pepper flakes and cook for 15 seconds then pour in the tomatoes with their juices.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat so it bubbles in a few places, season with salt and basil and let it simmer about 20 minutes until slightly thickened.
