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 for Making Pizzeria-Style Pizza Sauce:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes that are in season. If you can, use San Marzano tomatoes, which are known for their rich, sweet flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the sauce will intensify their flavor. To roast the tomatoes, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized.
  • Use fresh garlic and herbs: Fresh garlic and herbs will add a lot of flavor to your sauce. Use about 2 cloves of garlic per 28-ounce can of tomatoes, and a tablespoon of dried oregano and basil. If you have fresh herbs, use about 1/4 cup of chopped basil and oregano.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is done simmering, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Making pizzeria-style pizza sauce at home is easy and rewarding. By following these tips, you can make a delicious sauce that will elevate your pizzas to the next level. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, don't reach for a jar of sauce from the store. Make your own pizzeria-style sauce instead. You'll be glad you did!
