I used to make this for myself when I lived apart from the family, during one of my numerous job changes
This sauce (and its variations) appears in many of my recipes.
Half an hour to a simple and delicious meal. Great base for variations

I pound pasta ($1.50)
Good (not best) Olive Oil, couple tablespoons
Start lots of well salted water to boil
Chop garlic
Heat Olive oil in sauce pan.
Add Garlic and stir for a couple of minutes until golden.
Add tomato juice first and then crush tomatoes in can with your hand and add to sauce pan.
