Categories     Main Course

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about two or three large cloves)
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano (if using fresh, add at the end of the cooking time)
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (undrained) (or 2 pounds diced fresh tomatoes)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (can substitute honey or agave nectar)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the olive oil.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about a minute. If you're using dried oregano, add that along with the garlic. If you're using fresh, add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time.
  • Increase the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  • Leave over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling. Reduce heat to low for a nice simmer.
  • Gently simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in fresh oregano, if using that instead of dried.
  • Allow the sauce to cool to a safe temperature and then, using an immersion blender or working in batches with a blender, puree sauce.
  • Assemble pizza using your delicious homemade sauce, or refrigerate until ready to use. Keeps well in the fridge for about 4 days. I love to freeze this sauce in individual-pizza portions, too.

Best Pizza Sauce Recipe (No Cook, Authentic Italian Style) image

The best and easiest Italian pizza sauce recipe.

Provided by Christina Conte

Categories     Dressings, Sauces, Syrups & Toppings

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

14 oz (400g) can of European tomatoes (preferably pomodoro pelato S.Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino D.O.P) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT-do not use inferior quality tomatoes
3 Tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
a few pinches of dried oregano
2 or 3 leaves of fresh Italian basil, torn into small pieces
(optional: a clove of fresh garlic, minced) my Italian family uses garlic, but it's only used on one type of pizza in Naples

Steps:

  • Pour the can of tomatoes into a bowl. If it is pomodorini or whole tomatoes, crush them with your hands, or you can roughly cut them with kitchen shears.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Taste for salt and add if needed. (Don't add a lot of sauce to the pizza dough; you don't want to drown it.)
