Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter flavor and are less acidic than unripe tomatoes. This will result in a more flavorful sauce.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to pizza sauce. Be sure to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Pizza sauce should be simmered for only a short time, just long enough to blend the flavors together. Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and bland.
  • Taste the sauce before serving: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Making pizza sauce from scratch is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious sauce that will make your pizzas taste amazing. So next time you're making pizza, be sure to try one of these recipes. You won't be disappointed.
