Jill and I have a new way of making tomato sauce. It's a baked tomato sauce that our friend Laurie has been cooking for a while. It's baked and it has lots of butter and garlic. It's rich and the whole cloves of garlic are a spectacular addition.

Ingredients

2 Large cans (28 oz) whole tomatoes

16 Cloves of garlic, peeled. Yes - 16!Double it if you want to be bold. 16 is NOT bold.

½ cup Butter (1 stick). Cut into pieces.

2 tsp Salt

2 tsp Pepper

1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper

Yields1 Serving

Place tomatoes in a 9 x 13 casserole dish, mix in spices, spread garlic and butter pieces evenly around the dish, place in the oven.

Take out of the oven, gently smash (can you really gently smash?) tomatoes and garlic cloves with a potato masher, and you are ready to serve!
