I'm a sucker for Italian food. When it comes to my favorite foods, a tasty bowl of pasta with always top my list. And while I'm not claiming to have figured out any Italian secrets, I am confident that I've figured out how to make a very easy and very delicious tomato sauce.  


How To Make:

3 tablespoons olive oil
bunch of fresh basil

Saute shallot in butter and olive oil until softened on medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add can of tomatoes, including the liquid and simmer for 20 minutes. Add chopped basil at last minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
