Basic Marinara Sauce image

I found this recipe recently in Real Simple magazine. It is soooo good!!!!I changed it a little by using crushed canned tomatoes instead of whole or diced. This is so much better than jar sauce and much cheaper!! This is definately the best I've tasted.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (or chop if you like)
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes or 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:
