Directions
Lightly heat the olive oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and let it soften for a minute or two. Then, pour in the tomato sauce and mix in the red pepper, thyme, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and brown sugar. Let everything simmer gently, stirring every now and then, for about 45 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Once it’s done, take it off the heat and let it cool down. For the best taste, pop it in the fridge and let it sit overnight before you use it.
Serving Options To Try
Spread this sauce evenly over your pizza dough before adding cheese and toppings. It also works well as a dip for breadsticks or a base for pasta dishes, adding a burst of homemade flavor.
Storage Guide
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it in small portions for up to 3 months, then thaw before use for convenience.
