One of the most common questions I am asked is how to make
pizza sauce from scratch. You may be surprised to discover how easy it really
is. I'm pretty sure you'll also be amazed at how good it tastes!
A good sauce requires quality ingredients. Do your best to
get the freshest ingredients and the resulting flavor will reflect your
efforts.
You will need the following:
A large saucepan
1 can of 15 oz tomato sauce - (preferably Roma tomatoes)
1 6-ounce cans tomato paste
1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon of fresh oregano
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon hot, dry red pepper flakes.
1 tablespoon of kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
How to make pizza sauce:
In a large deep skillet, add the olive oil and heat over
medium heat.
Sauté your white onion until it begins to become
semi-translucent.
Now add your garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes (be careful
not to burn it; the garlic becomes very bitter).
At this point, add all the herbs except the basil and mix
gently for about 30 seconds to a minute.
Now add the remaining ingredients starting with the
tomatoes, mixing gently.
Simmer your sauce and cook for 20-25 minutes, being careful
not to burn the bottom as this will ruin the sauce.
Turn off the heat and cover to allow the flavors to blend.
Now you can use your sauce right away or freeze it for
later. The frozen sauce will keep for a long time if stored in sealed, frozen
bags.
If you plan to put your sauce in a jar for later use and
want to double the recipe, you will need a larger saucepan. Be sure to follow
safe packaging procedures to avoid food poisoning!
Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking, and if you
don't like the heat, skip the hot peppers.
As you can see, making your own pizza sauce is inexpensive,
fun and easy, not to say very rewarding!
