Easy Fresh Herb Marinara

From The Joy of Cooking. Perfect for when the basil bolts in July — I usually double or triple the batch. This can be a base sauce for lots of dishes, or just good over pasta with some fresh mozzarella and some grilled sausages on the side.

28 oz. can of whole tomatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, halved
6 sprigs fresh basil
6 springs fresh parsley

Simmer together over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. (Smash up the tomatoes with a spoon a bit). Remove from heat blend in your food processor or use an immersion blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
