"Marinara" appears to be an Italian equivalent of gumbo. There are very many variations in it's cooking method, and to a degree, components. In SF last year, we ate at an old school Sicilian joint, Caffe Sport, which served a marinara vastly different than that described by Alicia above.

I like Marcella Hazan's butter tomato sauce. Chop an onion as finely as possible, saute in butter until tender, add canned tomatoes, breaking em up with your hands. Add a pinch or two of salt. Cook until some of the butter floats free on the surface. Delicate, light, a good starting point for many other embellishments.

For sure.

The best "marinara" I've had was the Scarpetta recipe, but since OP asked for relatively simple, I figured it wasn't worth posting. It isn't hard, but it is more time consuming and requires an herb-oil infusion step.
