The best tomatoes you can get (be they tinned or otherwise), a lot of garlic (like 7 cloves), white onion (optional), salt, fresh ground black pepper, dash of sugar (optional, takes some of the sourness away from the tomatoes if poor quality or not cooked long & slow enough), dry red chilli flakes (optional no actual Italians I have known added this), red wine or balsamic vinegar, best olive oil you can get, FRESH basil, tinned Italian anchovies.

This is the best basic marinara style sauce have made. Actual Italian friends have used even fewer ingredients of much better quality. Throw in sausage, bacon, whatever meat if going for Italian-American rather than actual Italian style imho.
