Serves 10.

60 g extra virgin olive oil
2 whole garlic cloves
20 g basil leaves
1.5kg tomatoes, canned, cubed

Gently heat the extra virgin olive oil (never burn it, there should be no smoke), add garlic, onion and basil leaves and sautee for 4 -5 minutes on low heat.
Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste.
