Steps:
- 1. Place tomato paste in a small mixing bowl. Add water, using some of the water to rinse the last of the paste out of the cans. Stir well. (I whisk it with a fork.).
- 2. Add seasonings and stir again. You will have a very thick pizza sauce; add more water if you like a thinner sauce.
- 3. Refrigerate leftovers up to one week; freeze for up to a year.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and less water.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce. This will concentrate their flavor and make the sauce richer.
- Add a variety of herbs and spices to the sauce to taste. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the sauce until it is smooth. If you like a chunkier sauce, you can leave some of the tomatoes unblended.
