Ingredients

4 servings

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tbsp calabrian chile paste
1 can (28 oz) crushed san marzano tomatoes
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp sugar
6 fresh basil leaves, torn

For finishing

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing

Instructions

1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden at the edges and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as the slices can brown quickly.
2
Add the Calabrian chile paste and stir to coat the garlic, cooking for 1 minute until the paste darkens slightly and smells toasty.
