Ingredients

    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
    3 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
    1 28-ounce can crushed red tomatoes
    zest of one lemon

    servings are per 1/4 cup

Directions

Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic in a cold saucepan. Stir while you heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, saute just 45 seconds or so until everything is fragrant - you don't want the garlic to brown. Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes. Remove from heat and carefully take a taste (you don't want to burn your tongue)...If the sauce needs more salt add it now. Stir in the lemon zest reserving a bit to sprinkle on top of your pasta.

Makes about a quart of tomato sauce.

    Easy, spicy, YUMMY!! Added fresh mushrooms, basil and grilled chicken.DH thought there was too much of a lemon taste.Size of lemons varies, therefore amt. of zest varies.I LOVED the amt. of lemon added.I grill chicken in the beg. of the wk. so I can vary recipes all wk. This recipe is a keeper! - 7/8/11
