Marinara Sauce

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    Fresh tomatoes. Plum tomatoes are best because they are more meaty.
    garlic
    olive oil
    pepper (white, if you have it)
    fresh basil, chopped (dried, if you don't have fresh)
    fresh italian parsley chopped (leave it out if you don't have it)

Directions:

Chop up the tomatoes-some very fine, some chunks.  Tilt up the saucepan, make a small puddle of oil at the bottom edge, and brown the garlic over low heat until it is just golden.  If you leave the clove whole, you will need to use lower heat and longer, but can remove the clove.  If you chop it, it will go faster and you will have garlic chunks.  Your choice.

Add the tomatoes and other seasonings.  With the best tomatoes, use a light hand with garlic and seasonings.

Simmer for only as long as it takes to drive off some moisture and blend the flavors, but not so long as to drive off (m)any of the flavors.  Ten minutes could be enough.  Dont cook any longer than 20 minutes.
