Homemade Marinara Sauce - Basic Pizza/Pasta Sauce

Before leaving for vacations I did deep cleansing of fridge so now it's time to refill all those empty jars of condiments and I started with simple Marinara Sauce, which is a very versatile sauce, spread a generous helping over pizza (see recipe here) base or toss pasta in it or dip meatballs in it, Marinara Sauce is always an Italian Hero.
