The Sopranos' Marinara Sauce

1. In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat, pressing it occasionally with the back of a spoon, until golden (about 4 minutes).

2. Add the tomatoes and salt to taste.

3. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thick (15-20 minutes, depending on the tomatoes).

4. Stir in the basil leaves.

5. Serve over hot cooked spaghetti or other pasta.

6. Makes about 6 cups.
