Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 clove)
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Heat oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium. When it shimmers, add garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes.
Add tomato sauce and 2 tablespoons water; simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm. This sauce can also be made and refrigerated in an airtight container up to five days ahead. When ready to serve, gently reheat until warm.
