Pasta Sauce

Easy Pasta Sauce (Marinara)

1 28 oz can of diced or crushed tomatos. 
2 cloves minced garlic sauted in olive oil
1 tsp each of Basil and Oregano

Simmer for 10 minutes.  If you don't like the consistency, put in the food processor to smooth it out.

I add 1/2 pound ground beef browned in onion and simmer longer. 
Serve over your favorite pasta.
