1
Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.
2
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Tomato Sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine with the garlic and olive oil mixture.

4
Incorporate Spices
Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the tomato sauce. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
5
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

6
Add Fresh Ingredients
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, stir in the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. This sauce can be used as a dip, dressing, or a topping for your favorite dishes.
