Simple NY style pizza sauce

NY style Pizza sauce - this is the original sauce Grandma ML taught us.

1 can (28 oz)  Italian plum tomatoes
2 T tomato paste (freeze leftover in a baggie)
1-2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tsp dried basil and/or dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Crush the tomatoes with your hands or a fork in a heavy saucepan (lately I've just been using crushed tomatoes).  Over medium heat, stir in the remaining ingredients.  Bring mixture just to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently until thick, 30-60 minutes.  Adjust seasonings.  Can be refrigerated for a week or frozen for months.
