Become a Pizza Master with This Simple and Delicious Tomato Sauce Recipe!

Are you ready to take your homemade pizza to the next level? One of the secrets to a perfect pizza lies in the sauce. With this easy, flavorful tomato sauce recipe, you’ll be making pizza like a true pro in no time! Say goodbye to store-bought sauces and hello to fresh, vibrant flavors that will elevate every bite of your pizza.

This recipe makes enough sauce for 4-6 medium-sized pizzas, so it’s great for family pizza night or even a small gathering of friends.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 cups of canned whole peeled tomatoes (San Marzano if possible)
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
½ teaspoon of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
4-5 fresh basil leaves (optional, but highly recommended)
1 tablespoon of tomato paste (optional, for extra richness)

Let’s Create the Perfect Sauce:

Start by heating the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for just 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. That initial burst of garlic flavor is going to set the tone for your sauce!

Next, add the canned tomatoes, crushing them gently with your hands or a spoon as you pour them in. This creates a nice rustic texture that’s perfect for pizza. Stir in the dried oregano, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. The sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes, while the oregano gives it that classic pizza flavor.

Let the sauce simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. If you want a richer sauce, you can stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste at this point.

For a fresh twist, add a few basil leaves in the last 5 minutes of cooking. They add a lovely, subtle aroma that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

Once the sauce has cooled a bit, you can use it directly on your pizza dough, spreading it evenly before adding your toppings. Trust me, this sauce will make your pizza stand out with its deep, rich flavor and perfect consistency.
