   35       oz           Drained canned plum tomatoes
    1                    Garlic clove
    3       tb           Olive oil
    1       tb           Chopped parsley
                         Salt
 
   This is a typical southern Italian sauce. If you like it spicier, add
   peperoncino (red pepper flakes).
   
   COARSELY CHOP THE TOMATOES on a plate, saving the liquid they release.
   Halve the garlic clove. Heat the olive oil in a broad saute pan and simmer
   the garlic in it until lightly golden, then press the pieces against the
   pan and remove them. Raise heat to medium-high and add the chopped tomatoes
   and their juices from the plate. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10
   minutes, until the sauce is lightly thickened. Add the chopped parsley and
   1/4 teaspoon salt, stir all together once, then remove the sauce from the
   heat. Makes 2 1/2 Cups
