This homemade marinara sauce is easy to make with only 5 ingredients in just over 30 minutes. Serve with your favorite pasta and use it any meal that calls for jarred tomato sauce.

Instructions
Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with the back of a wooden spoon (or your hands). Add about 1/2 cup water to the can to reserve any extra tomato sauce.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until golden. Then add the crushed tomatoes, salt and oregano. Simmer until thickened, about 20-30 minutes. Taste sauce about 15 minutes in and salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh oregano or basil if desired.
Serve over your favorite pasta or use for dipping.
