Ingredients
2 tsp (10mL) olive oil
1 Tbs (9g) garlic, minced
1 cup (150g) thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 cup (150g) thinly sliced green bell pepper
1 Tbs (9g) minced jalapeño pepper
2 28-ounce (2,795g) cans plum tomatoes

Remove the pot from the heat, add the basil leaves, and mix well. Serve
over freshly cooked pasta, or refrigerate for later use.
