Description

A simple no-cook pizza sauce recipe for excellent homemade pizza.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • fresh herbs (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Drain the tomatoes. Rip them apart by hand and place them in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients to your desired consistency. Alternatively, combined all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until desired consistency.
  • Adjust seasoning if desired. Use sauce immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

I usually add 3 or 4 fresh basil leaves in summer when it is available.
