• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole

Recipe

• 1 heat olive oil in a deep, heavy bottomed 2-quart pot. add garlic and saute until very fragrant and golden. using your hand, crush tomatoes and add to the pot—this can be done beforehand in a bowl if you’re worried about any oil popping up when the liquid makes contact with the hot oil.
