Instructions: This sauce has a lot of flavor and just lightly coats the pasta.

Optional ingredients you may wish to add to the sauce: fresh fish, calamari, broccoli, cauliflower or a can of drained clams (but only one addition at a time).

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add garlic and cook until golden, but not brown. Stir in tomatoes and their liquid with black pepper. Add basil leaves and salt to taste. Cook at a fast simmer over high heat, stirring the sauce often for about 10 to 15 minutes

2. Put on a large pot of water in which to cook pasta. (When your pasta is done, so is the sauce.)
