Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium, high-sided saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic slices and cook for several minutes, until they are slightly golden, stirring occasionally. Use a fork or slotted spoon to remove them, if desired.
• Quarter the tomatoes lengthwise , leaving the stem ends intact. Turn them on their sides and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices, the crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, salt and pepper to the saucepan. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, then add the Sambuca and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the basil.
• Adjust seasoning as needed; drizzle with a little oil just before serving.
