Steve's "Gravy" or "Sunday Sauce" Recipe (Bobby Bacala)
(from his book The Goomba's Guide to Life) .

1 pound spaghetti
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 28-ounce can tomatoes with their juices, diced
2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once the water
comes to a boil, add a generous handful of salt. Cook the pasta to al
dente according to the package directions.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it
becomes fragrant. Mix the garlic with one teaspoon of water and
carefully add this to the warm oil it will splatter! Saute garlic
and cook but don't brown, less than a minute. Add the tomatoes, bring
to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the basil,
sugar, and salt, and simmer 5 more minutes. Just before serving, blend
in the last tablespoon of olive oil.

Serve the spaghetti in a big bowl, with the tomato sauce poured on
top. Serve with bread and grated parmesan cheese.
