Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch     Sauces

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cup cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a blend of basil and oregano)
1 dash sea salt (or Kosher salt)
1 dash freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/3 cup fresh Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, stirring with a fork until the mixture is thick and pasty.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-low and then slowly add in the milk, whisking it all together and stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Add the Italian seasoning (or basil and oregano), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow your sauce to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese has melted and is well incorporated. Your white sauce will thicken further as it cools, so add a bit more milk if needed and, conversely, don't worry if it seems too thin while on the stovetop over the heat.
  • Use to top your favorite pizza crust or pasta.

BEST PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE (NO COOK, AUTHENTIC ITALIAN STYLE)



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.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizza. This means using fresh, flavorful tomatoes, creamy and tangy mozzarella cheese, and a flavorful and aromatic white sauce. You can also choose to use fresh or dried herbs, depending on your preference.
  • Make the dough ahead of time: This will give the dough time to rise and develop flavor. You can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance, or you can even freeze it for later use.
  • Preheat the oven to a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust. The ideal temperature for baking pizza is between 450°F and 500°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: If you add too many toppings to the pizza, it will be difficult to cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of cheese and sauce, and then add your toppings sparingly.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pizza with white sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a pizza that tastes just as good as the ones you get from your favorite pizzeria. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, don't be afraid to try making it yourself. You might just be surprised at how easy it is!
