- 1.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

- Stir in the red pepper flakes and sea salt, feeling the slight tickle of spice in the air.
- Pour in the San Marzano tomatoes, crushing them gently with a spoon to retain some texture, and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
- Let the sauce thicken over 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of brown sugar for balance.
