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.
Forgive me for noting that conservatives seem to believe that the rich
will work harder if we give them more, and the poor will work harder
if we give them less.
