You may think this to be unimportant or trivial, but it isn't. Not to me anyways. I have found and tried out the ultimate spaghetti sauce recipe, off the cooking show of Buddy Valastro aka the Cake Boss, which makes it as authentic Italian as it gets.
Yield: 3-4
Ingredients
a splash of good quality olive oil
a couple of cloves of garlic (more is perfectly okay)
1 can of peeled tomatoes
a handful of fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper
about a teaspoon of sugar
Directions
Finely chop the garlic and heat a sauté pan with the olive oil. Add the garlic. When it's starting to smell good, add the tomatoes and half or 2/3 of the basil. Season and add the sugar. Cooks for about twice the time you need to cook your pasta. Add pasta and the remaining basil to the sauce and toss until everything is coated with the sauce. Done.
