Marinara
Cook 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves and a pinch of crushed red pepper in 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat until the garlic is golden, about 6 minutes. Crush a 28-ounce cans of plum tomatoes into the skillet with your hands. Rinse the can with about 1 cup water and add to the sauce. Add a handful of torn basil leaves and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until thick, 20 to 25 minutes. Makes sauce for 1 pound of pasta.
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness
within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
-- Shirley Jackson, "The Haunting of Hill House"
