SAUTE GARLIC

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook 30–45 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant (don’t let it brown).

ADD TOMATO PASTE

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, until it darkens slightly. This deepens the sauce’s flavor.

SIMMER AND SEASON

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook, uncovered, for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. For an ultra-smooth sauce, use an immersion blender to pulse until your desired consistency. Skip this step if you prefer a rustic, chunky texture.
