Instructions: (In Italy its usually served with penne)

Place oil, garlic, and red pepper (if youre using the vegetable) in a saucepan. Simmer until garlic is light brown (it takes only a few minutes) and then, if you wish the sauce to be milder, remove the red pepper. Add tomatoes, oreganon and salt, and simmer for another half hour. Then remove the pan from the heat and add pepper. If you chose to use ground red hot pepper, add it now.
