In this blog post, I'll guide you through a simple yet delicious recipe to make pizza sauce that will elevate your homemade pizzas to a whole new level. Let's dive in and discover the secrets to creating the perfect pizza sauce.

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

First things first, gather all the necessary ingredients for your pizza sauce. You'll need:

- 1 can (28 oz) of crushed tomatoes

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano

- 1 teaspoon of dried basil

- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

2. Prepare Your Ingredients:

Start by mincing the garlic cloves finely. Next, open the can of crushed tomatoes and measure out the required amount. Preparing and preparing all of your ingredients ahead of time will greatly streamline the cooking process.

3. Heat the Olive Oil:

The olive oil should be heated over medium heat in a saucepan. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Garlic can burn easily and become bitter, so take care not to burn it.

4. Add the Crushed Tomatoes:

Carefully pour the crushed tomatoes into the saucepan with the garlic and olive oil. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Season Your Sauce:

Now it's time to add the dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

6. Simmer and Blend:

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will enable the sauce to slightly thicken and allow the flavors to mingle. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency if you like a smoother sauce.

7. Taste and Adjust:

Once the sauce has simmered, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Depending on your taste, you can add extra salt, pepper, or herbs.

8. Let it Cool:

Allow the pizza sauce to cool completely before using it on your pizza. You can transfer it to a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You've just learned how to make pizza sauce from scratch. With just a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can create a flavorful sauce that will take your homemade pizzas to the next level. Try varying the herbs and spices in the sauce to make it your own. Once you've mastered this recipe, you'll never go back to store-bought pizza sauce again.
