This rich, garlicky pizza sauce comes together on the stovetop with crushed tomatoes and a bloom of oregano, basil, and thyme in warm oil, giving it a deep, herby aroma from the very first minute. A pinch of sugar balances the acidity while red pepper flakes bring optional heat, and a slow simmer thickens everything into a glossy, rich-red sauce with concentrated flavor. There's no cheese or cream anywhere in the mix, just pantry staples and a can of good tomatoes doing all the work. It spreads beautifully under toppings or spoons over a crust, and it's an easy make-ahead component to keep stocked for a dairy free kitchen. Simple, versatile, and packed with flavor, this is the kind of base sauce you'll want on repeat.
