¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz) whole peeled san marzano tomatoes
½ tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
¾ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
6 fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour the tomatoes and their juices into a large bowl and crush them by hand, squeezing each tomato until broken into rough, uneven pieces. Set aside.
2
Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is pale golden and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely — the garlic can color quickly.
