- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Stir until well blended.
Add the olive oil, sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
