Jimmy Kimmel's Tomato Sauce

Who knew that Jimmy Kimmel (late night talk show host comedian) was also a cook? He contributed an article to Glamour magazine and shared this great recipe... 

My tomato sauce is what I cook the most, and a lot of people have asked me for the recipe. 

It’s very simple, but it’s taken me many years to refine, and I’m actually still refining to this day. So here’s what you do: 

1. Heat a few tablespoons of good-quality-extra-virgin olive oil in a pan. 
2. Slice some garlic into thin pieces, and fry them until they’re golden but not brown. If the garlic turns brown, start over. Remove the garlic from the olive oil. 
3. Add a whole can of tomatoes to the olive oil, but remember: Not all canned tomatoes are created equal. I like Bianco DiNapoli the best. They are not easy to find, but you can buy them on Amazon. Add a little bit os sea salt and a few leaves of fresh basil. 
4. Bring that to a boil for a minute, and then turn down the heat and let it simmer for at least 20 minutes. It can do this for quite a while - up to a few hours will get you an even deeper flavor. 
5. Once you’re done, take a ladleful of pasta water and add it to the sauce. 

… And that’s it. It’s a big favorite with everybody who eats at my house. 

I love it so much I could drink it. And I have.
