3 TBSP Olive Oil
6 garlic cloves (fresh or jarred)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (portion based on spice taste)
28 oz of Plum Tomatoes, blanched
Handful of torn basil (dried or fresh)
Season with salt and pepper to taste

Combine garlic and red pepper flakes in oil and cook over medium-low until garlic is golden (about 6 minutes).  Crush tomatoes into skillet. We used fresh tomatoes from our garden and blended them with a hand blander. If you use canned tomatoes, add an additional 1 cup of water.  Add basil, salt, and pepper. Cook uncovered until thick. Makes about 2 full jars of sauce. Store in fridge if you choose not to seal the containers.

Delicious with spaghetti and meatballs. :)

4 cups Flour
1 tbsp. Dry Active Yeast
1-2 tsp. Salt
2 cups Warm Water
Oil for bowl

Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix together the flour and the salt.
2. In another bowl, combine yeast, warm water (not hot nor cold!), and half of the flour/salt mixture. Using your hands, mix until it forms a dough. Then, cover with a dish cloth and let sit at room temperature for 3 hours. It should triple in size.
3. Gently incorporate the rest of the flour/salt, using your hands.
4. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. It should be supple and elastic when you stop kneading.
5. Lightly oil a bowl. Place dough in bowl. Cover with a dish towel. Let sit for 1 hour. It should double in size.
6. Preheat oven to 450°F. Knead again. Then cut dough into 3 parts and form each part into a long baguette. Place on a baking sheet. Let sit for at least 20 minutes.
7. Place a bowl of water in the oven. Bake baguettes for about 25 minutes (maybe less). Remove the bowl of water after 15 minutes of baking.
