Tips for Success
- Taste the sauce and add any additional seasonings before putting it on your pizza.
- If you don't have tomato sauce, use a jar of canned tomatoes (diced or whole) and a can of tomato paste. Blend the tomatoes and the paste in a food processor or blender.
- If you don't have any prepared pizza seasoning, use fresh herbs or a few dried ones if you have them!
- Chop two fresh basil leaves and mince one garlic clove, then add them with a pinch or two of fresh or dried oregano (to taste) to ½ cups of sauce before using it on top of your pizza.
- Do you only have dried herbs? Add up to ½ teaspoons (or to taste) of dried oregano, basil, garlic, and onion powders.
- Add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper if you like spicy sauce.
- Do you prefer a sauce with a bit of sweetness? Add a teaspoon of sugar to enhance the taste and help balance the tomatoes' acidity.
- This delicious sauce can also be a dipping sauce for pizza, pizza rolls, or breadsticks. Of course, you could also use it to make calzones or stromboli.
Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container, such as a glass jar, in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze the sauce in ice cube trays, a zipper bag, or another freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw frozen sauce in the refrigerator overnight or place the sealed container in a bowl of hot water until thawed.Make a Large Batch & Process for Later:
