¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
½ tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
½ tsp dried oregano
3 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for serving
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1
Combine the olive oil and smashed garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, turning the garlic occasionally, until the cloves are golden and fragrant, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic cloves using a slotted spoon or fine-mesh strainer, leaving the infused oil in the pan.
2
Add the red pepper flakes to the infused oil and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
