(16k)Paleo Pizza Sauce
Crushed tomatoes simmer down with garlic-infused oil and a trio of dried herbs into a rich, deeply flavored sauce that tastes like it's been on the stove all day. Toasting the oregano, basil, and thyme right in the warm oil wakes up their aroma before the tomatoes even hit the pan, building real depth in under 20 minutes. A touch of sugar balances the acidity while black pepper and optional red pepper flakes give it a subtle kick. It thickens to a glossy, spoonable consistency that clings to whatever you're topping, whether that's a pizza crust, roasted vegetables, or a simple bowl of spiralized noodles. This is a straightforward, whole-ingredient sauce that fits neatly into a Paleo kitchen, and it's easy to make ahead and keep on hand for busy nights.
