This sauce builds all its flavor from crushed tomatoes simmered with garlic-infused oil, oregano, basil, and thyme, so every spoonful tastes bright and herby without relying on a jarred shortcut. A gentle simmer over medium-low heat thickens the tomatoes naturally and deepens their color, giving you that rich, restaurant-style red without much hands-on effort. Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes round things out with warmth and a little kick, letting the tomatoes stay the star of the show. It's a versatile base for pizza night, pasta, or dipping, and it comes together in under twenty minutes on the stove. This one is a great option to keep in your added sugar free kitchen rotation.
