¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 14.5oz can Hunt’s diced tomatoes (low sodium)

fresh basil, rosemary, cilantro (chopped)

sea salt (to taste)

Heat a large flat pan with high sides to medium heat (do not use a sauté pan); add EVOO and garlic and let the garlic simmer in the EVOO until it starts to brown; add both cans of tomatoes; stir and fold sauce often; add fresh herbs, seasonings, and salt to taste; reduce heat if sauce splatters out of pan; allow sauce to simmer on low for 20-30 minutes or until hot and flavourful; for a more liquidy sauce, cover pan; for a chunkier sauce, leave pan uncovered; begin to cook pasta about half way through cooking the sauce.
