To a saucepan over medium heat add in the olive oil and smashed garlic cloves. Cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant, careful not to burn the garlic.
Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, oregano, and onion powder. Let that bloom in the oil for about 30 seconds.
Then add in the remaining ingredients with the whole carrot (if using). Stir well. The carrot reduces the acidity in the tomatoes and adds subtle sweetness.
Simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaves, garlic cloves and carrot and use the sauce in your favorite dish.
