For the sauce

1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp dried basil

Instructions

1
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
2
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.
