This recipe makes the best marinara sauce I have tasted. It is great for pizza as well as pasta, and it makes a nice sauce for chicken parmesan. This comes from The New Best Recipe cookbook (one of my favorites...every recipe I have made from here turns out wonderful, even if it is a little labor intensive...this recipe is not).
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp sugar
salt and ground black pepper
Heat garlic and oil together in large saucepan over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, pinch of salt, and 2 grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, 10-12 minutes. Taste sauce and adjust salt if necessary. Cover and keep warm.
