Then let’s wash and peel a clove of garlic or 5 grams. Then lots chop it into small pieces.

Now let’s place the pot on the burner, add in the extra virgin olive oil and onions. Set the temperature to low and cook the onions until they are soft and translucent.

Then let’s add the garlic and continue to cook on low for a couple of minutes.

Next let’s add in the can of whole peeled tomatoes and mix it with the onions and garlic
