Quick Tomato Sauce for Pizza

"1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed through a garlic press
salt and ground black pepper

1. Place the tomatoes in a food processor and process until smooth, about five 1-second pulses
2. Heat the oil and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is sizzling, about 40 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a wooden spoon, about 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste."

Notes: I don't know why this recipe doesn't just call for crushed tomatoes with a little juice drained off. I use crushed when I don't have diced on hand and it turns out fine.
