Tomato Sauce with Garlic and Basil

Pluck basil from leaves, rinse and dry, and then chiffon by rolling into tube and slicing.

Put the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and several grindings of pepper into a saucepan, and turn on the heat to medium high. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the oil floats free from the tomato. Taste and correct for salt.

Off heat, as soon as the sauce is done, mix in the basil, keeping aside a few pieces to add when tossing the pasta.
