Tyler Florence used this simple recipe on one of his December 2003 911 TV
shows; I tried it, I like it because it is quick and simple. He says the
marjoram makes a difference -- instead of using oregano.



2 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 (28-ounce) can tomato puree

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste



Over medium heat, heat oil in a saucepan until hot. Add all ingredients,
cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, lower heat and allow to simmer for 30
minutes.
