  This is a typical southern italian sauce. If you like it spicier, add
peperoncino (red pepper flakes).

Coarsely chop the tomatoes on a plate, saving the liquid they 
release.

Halve the garlic clove. Heat the olive oil in a broad saute pan  and simmer the garlic in it until lightly golden, then press the  pieces against the pan and remove them. Raise heat to  medium-high and add the chopped tomatoesand their juices  from the plate. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 minutes, until the sauce is lightly thickened. Add the chopped  parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stir all together once, then remove the sauce  from the heat.
