Fresh Tomato Sauce

20 ripe plum tomatoes sliced and seeded                        
1/3 cup olive oil                                              
1 clove mashed garlic                                          
Pinch crushed red pepper flake                                 
6-8 fresh basil leaves                                         
Pinch salt                   

In a pot put olive oil, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and 20 sliced & seeded tomatoes.  Cook over low heat for 1 hour and periodically mash tomatoes with a masher.  Add fresh basil leaves after one hour and cook on low for another 20-30 minutes.  You could also use 2 large cans of whole plum tomatoes instead of 20 fresh tomatoes.  If sauce if to tart, add a pinch of sugar.  Sauce is ready to serve after 1 1/2 hours, you can also cook on medium heat for 1 hour for a quicker serving time.
