ULTIMATE PIZZA SAUCE

This pizza sauce recipe was given to me as a wedding present, written on the inside cover of a pizza cookbook. It is thick, saucy, spicy and delicious. I'll never use anything else on my homemade pizzas. I like to double or triple it and put it in Ziploc bags in my freezer.

  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little water or vegetable broth. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer to reduce it.
  • Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. It should be flavorful and well-balanced, with a slight sweetness and a hint of acidity.
