fresh tomato garlic sauce

2 large tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/3 cup olive oil (I use half chicken broth)
6 large cloves garlic, minced

Mix tomatoes & 1/4 cup water. Add basil, salt, & pepper.

Place olive oil & minced garlic in a saucepan. Cook until garlic is a light gold. Add tomato mixture & simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Serve over noodles. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
