Cooking Our Way

2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes plus 2/3 can water
2 T. chopped garlic
2 T. dried sweet basil or 4 T. fresh basil chopped
4 T. olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Place oil and garlic in pot and cook just until garlic changes color.  Add tomatoes, water and basil. Cook on low heat until sauce thickens.  Long slow cooking greatly improves the flavor.
