- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® San Marzano Style Chopped Tomatoes with Sea Salt
- 1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Italian Inspirations Tomato Sauce with Basil, Garlic, and Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 5 sprigs fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
