Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about a minute. If you're using dried oregano, add that along with the garlic. If you're using fresh, add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Leave over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling. Reduce heat to low for a nice simmer.

Step 5

Gently simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in fresh oregano, if using that instead of dried.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool to a safe temperature and then, using an immersion blender or working in batches with a blender, puree sauce.

Step 8

Assemble pizza using your delicious homemade sauce, or refrigerate until ready to use. Keeps well in the fridge for about 4 days. I love to freeze this sauce in individual-pizza portions, too.
