Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1 minute — watch closely so it doesn't burn. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, dried basil, sugar, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir to combine, then simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
