Directions:
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add garlic and saute until golden brown, about three minutes.

While garlic browns pour tomatoes into a bowl. Squeeze with your hands to break them up. Add tomatoes and their juice to the saucepan.

Add oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer on low for 45 minutes. Add a little water if needed to keep sauce from becoming too thick (it should be bright red; if it turns brick red, it's too thick).
