Very Easy Pasta or Pizza Sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced (I use the kind in the jar, already minced)

4 (14 oz.) cans diced or crushed tomatoes. If not crushed, then crush in your food processor.

1/2 onion, chopped finely (if desired)

1 tsp. salt

basil, Italian seasoning, etc. to taste

Saute the onion (if using) and garlic in olive oil. Stir in tomatoes and salt. Simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Add other seasonings and simmer a couple of more minutes.
