Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, halved
6 sprigs fresh basil
6 sprigs fresh parsley
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:
Marinara sauce consists simply of oil and garlic with chopped tomatoes added; its many variations include puttanesca (with olives and capers) and red clam sauce.

2 lbs ripe tomatoes, peeled, if desired, seeded, and coarsely chopped, or one 28-oz can whole tomatoes, with juice, crushed between your fingers as you add them to the pan

Bring to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-low heat tomatoes, oil, garlic, basil and parsley. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Pass through a food mill and season with salt and pepper.
