Description
A fresh, no-cook Italian-style pizza sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes and aromatic herbs.
Ingredients
1 can (28 oz) whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Drain the excess watery liquid from the canned tomatoes.
Step 2: Place tomatoes in a bowl and crush them by hand or with a fork for a rustic texture.
Step 3: Stir in the olive oil and minced garlic until well incorporated.
Step 4: Add the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Step 5: Mix thoroughly and add sugar if needed to balance the acidity.
Step 6: Let the sauce rest for 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Do not cook the sauce! The flavor remains much brighter if it only cooks once while on the pizza in the oven.
