Method

Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves to brown in a pan with 4 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

When the oil starts to sizzle, add peeled tomatoes and crush them with a fork or just add tomato sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper, cook for about 15-20 minutes and add a tbsp of dried oregano halfway through.
