This is my recipe for the quickest, simplest, marinara sauce. Marinara sauce is a quick pan sauce, made with garlic, olive oil, and tomatoes. Add some salt and fresh basil, and you've got yourself a classic, fresh marinara sauce in no time. Why buy the jar when you can do it yourself?

28ozjar or can of crushed tomatoes
kosher salt to taste
1/4cupfresh basil
Instructions
In a saucepan, add olive oil and minced garlic.
After the garlic is in the pan, turn the heat on the burner to medium. (This is key to not burning garlic).
Once the garlic starts to cook, it will become fragrant and start to turn a golden color (about 1 minute).
Add the crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and add salt.
Let it come to a boil and then reduce the heat so its on a low boil or simmer, stir in fresh basil.
