Instructions
Sauté shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes in extra virgin olive oil until fragrant and beginning to brown.
Stir in the tomato paste until combined and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add in can of San Marzano tomatoes and crush (I just use my hands to lightly crush them), and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Note: if you want a smoother sauce, just use an immersion blender to quickly blend up all the chunks.
Stir in the basil, oregano, and thyme with another drizzle of olive oil and voila!
Use as pizza sauce, serve on pasta, or just eat by the spoonful.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
