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.)

HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE

For years, I had trouble finding a pizza sauce recipe my family liked, so I started making my own. The evening I served it to company and they asked for my recipe, I knew I'd finally got it right!

HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE FROM SCRATCH



Homemade Pizza Sauce from Scratch image

I noticed that most (all?) the pizza sauce recipes call for either tomato paste or tomato sauce or both. I wanted to do it from scratch! So I experimented until I got it right. This is much better than the store-bought sauce with none of those nasty preservatives.

HOME MADE PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH



Home Made Pizza Sauce Recipe from Scratch image

Contrary to popular opinion, pizza was not Italian in origin, but it was the Italians who gave it the name "pizza", improved upon it, and introduced it in the United States. Pizza was invented by the Greeks around several hundred years B.C. who were the early pioneers and skilled bakers, settling in Southern Italy around the Naples Region.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 plum tomatoes, seeded, skinned, and pureed in a food processor
1 white onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon red pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Heat your oil in an 8 quart pan. Add your onions-we want to sweat them until they are transparent. This should take about six minutes. Then, add your garlic. By now, your kitchen should be filling with a delectable aroma-excellent!
  • At this point, we want to add the tomato puree we made, along with the sugar, salt, and red pepper. Bring the whole mixture to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, as the sauce thickens. The sauce should be pretty smooth when we finished, provided we did okay during the food-processing.
  • Voila! You've made all-natural, excellent pizza sauce from all whole ingredients. This pizza sauce recipe can be canned or frozen, so if you have left overs after you prepare your pizza, go ahead and save some for next time.

PIZZA SAUCE



Pizza Sauce image

This pizza sauce is the flavor basis of our Perfect Pizza.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes enough for 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 can whole Italian peeled plum tomatoes (2 pounds)
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a large skillet, and place over medium heat. Using your hands, squeeze tomatoes to crush them. Add to the warm olive oil, along with the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is thick, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Pass sauce through a food mill, discard the seeds, and let cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for ripe, in-season tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for making sauce because they have a low water content and a meaty texture.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before you make sauce will intensify their flavor and give them a smoky, caramelized taste. To roast your tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly browned.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your sauce. Add them to the sauce towards the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Don't overcook your sauce: Pizza sauce should be cooked slowly and gently. Overcooking will make it thick and bland. Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, over low heat.
  • Taste your sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed: Every tomato is different, so you may need to adjust the seasonings in your sauce to taste. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

Conclusion:

Homemade pizza sauce is easy to make and a delicious addition to any pizza. By following these tips, you can make a pizza sauce that is flavorful, aromatic, and perfect for your next pizza night.
