Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan, add chopped garlic and saute for some seconds till the raw aroma of garlic goes away. no need to brown the garlic.
Then add tomato puree to it with black pepper, chilli flakes, Italian seasoning, oregano and tomato sauce; stir at intervals and saute till you see the oil leaving the sides and the sauce has thickened a bit. this means that the tomato puree has cooked. Next add salt as per taste.
