Perfect Pizza Sauce

4-5 cloves of garlic, minced very finely
1 tsp olive oil
1 29 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 Tbl dried basil
1 tsp salt, grey salt if you have it
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about two minutes.
2. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a bare simmer and allow to cook for 20 minutes. Stir frequently - tomatoes contain a lot of natural sugars and it will scorch if the heat is too high or if it's not stirred.
3. Remove from heat, and allow to cool at least slightly before use. Or cover, and keep in the fridge for about a week.
