Yes, you certainly can. In fact, the cooking time will be a little less. Simply add the olive oil and garlic to a large, cold skillet. Over medium heat, carefully heat the garlic until it is fragrant. Be careful that it does not take on too much colour or it will taste acrid. Add the other ingredients, as per the recipe and toss to combine. Cook until the tomatoes collapse, release their juices and become tender. This will take about 10 - 15 minutes.
