Ingredients

8 ounces pasta of choice
⅓ cup olive oil divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves Garlic minced
16 ounces cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
1 14- ounce package no-salt-added diced tomatoes
¼ cup Fresh Basil julienned, plus extra for garnish
½ teaspoon freshly ground Tellicherry Black Pepper
½ teaspoon Salt Substitute optional

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and set aside.
In a large pot, add unsalted butter and olive oil and begin by sautéing the garlic over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until edges begin to brown. Add in the fresh tomatoes, and stir.
Pour in the canned tomatoes to the pot, adding the canning liquid/sauce as well. Add basil and pepper. If you are going to add a salt substitute, add now (optional step). Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Simmer on low for 15 minutes. Sauce should thicken and become jammy.
When the sauce is finished cooking, add the sauce over cooked pasta, and garnish with extra basil.
