Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil then turn the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot or store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
