Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, with the saucepan loosely covered in foil to avoid splattering and stirring occasionally, until fairly thick, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your tomatoes. Remove the basil.

Steps:
- Empty the contents of the tomato can in a mixing bowl and coarsely crush the tomatoes with a fork or your hands, leaving them just a little chunky. In a heavy bottom 2-quart saucepot, add the olive oil, over a medium high flame and heat a little. Add the onions and saute until slightly translucent. Add the garlic and saute about a minute until golden. Quickly add the crushed tomatoes to the mix. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the fresh basil and oregano. You can add a touch of sugar if desired or if tomatoes are tart. Simmer on a low flame, stirring often for at least 15 minutes. If not using right away, cool down and store in airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 1 week.
ULTIMATE PIZZA SAUCE
This pizza sauce recipe was given to me as a wedding present, written on the inside cover of a pizza cookbook. It is thick, saucy, spicy and delicious. I'll never use anything else on my homemade pizzas. I like to double or triple it and put it in Ziploc bags in my freezer.

- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet onions, and fragrant garlic.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Try adding oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, or a pinch of sugar to taste.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little water or vegetable broth. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer to reduce it.
- Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. It should be flavorful and well-balanced, with a slight sweetness and a hint of acidity.
