Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
⅓ cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
½ teaspoon oregano, or to taste

Directions

Prepare sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Stir in tomato paste. Add crushed tomatoes and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer pizza sauce for about 20 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
