Roll the dough out into a 13×6-inch rectangle, then cut into ¾ inch wide strips. Tie each dough strip into a nice loose knot.

Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper, and kosher salt to a small bowl and mix.

Add each knot to the bowl of oil and lightly dredge or spoon oil on top.

Add to a baking sheet that has been lined with foil or sprayed with oil. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.

Combine the tomato paste, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, garlic, salt, and parsley in a small bowl and whisk together.
