Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add salt and pasta. Stir, and set timer according to packet instructions - between 8-11 minutes, usually, depending on the type of pasta.
Heat olive oil in small saucepan. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about one minute.
Stir in the passata rustica and bring to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes.
Remove from the heat, stir in the basil-infused olive oil.
Serve with your favourite pasta and toppings.
Notes
You don't need to add salt or pepper to this sauce, as you add salt when cooking the pasta (the way the Italians do!), and you add freshly ground black pepper to your individual serving along with your other toppings.Top with grated Parmesan, Grana Padano or Cheddar cheese (this is the way my daughter likes it!). I like mine with a good drizzle of Pomora chilli-infused olive oil and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
