Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook garlic until aromatic. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato purée, water, Romano cheese, parmesan cheese, oregano, parsely, onion powder, salt, and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens and flavors meld, about 20 minutes.
Remove and discard bay leaf. Chill in an air-tight container up to 1 week.
